I find it odd that fast food is where people see minimum wage workers.

In any city I'd wager more minimum wage earners are cleaning buildings than flipping burgers.

Yeah, and especially that public service pension liability. What a burden! Living like kings at the taxpayers expense ...


It's quite ironic that of the dozens of people I know who draw superannuation, very, very few are anything like you describe. I'm not talking about the politicians who are a different kettle of fish! You want to make sure you get your facts straight before you go yapping off (like the other Asshole on here) about things you know nothing about!

Don't the building cleaners include a lot of CUPE workers, or am I mistaken about that?

Not much anymore. Most got contracted out long ago. Except for schools.It costs more for a cleaner in a school than a hospital.

This whole thing would be e non issue if head office would have permitted the franchisees to raise prices to cover the costs. Then when customers revolted they could just point a finger at the provincial government.

French press all the way but they aren't handy on the highway.

McDonald's has better coffee than Tim's and the line moves faster.

I like food cooked in my kitchen.


Me too, but when I'm out I'll stop for Coffee. I walk a lot and it breaks up the exercise! :)

The worst f**king cup I've had in awhile was a cardboard cup full at Starbucks (in Safeway) yesterday for $2.25. Live and learn!

Did it taste like pissing on a campfire smells?


One notch above. :) :) Some idiots will drop a "red" on any remark.................sure sign of the mentality!

I get that.....walks are good.

You don't see to many people do that anymore.


A lot of the ones with dogs do!

3 grand a month is not a living wage around here. House rentals START at $2000/month, here. The humblest of apartments are over $1000. Less than that is Rooming House room territory or perhaps Bates Motel.

Where do you live?
