Fast food is supposed to be temporary, fill-in type of work. It's not supposed to be a lifetime career, or one to support a family. I know people with Masters degrees earning around the same, or a little more.
All this will do is hasten the advent of automation. The fast food giants are all about a decade away from nearly full automation, and elimination of most "front counter" and some kitchen jobs.
So then, if we get at $15 wage, all the protesters will have a new cause- protesting all the unemployed poor people now back on the dole, and needing a "living welfare check".
