We are about to set off on yet another long drive across America. We got tired of the fast food drive-thru, so we began going to a shop that sold foot long submarine sandwiches. Did you see the last picture of the man on the Internet??? Made my stomach turn over!
Yes, I know that every business maybe does something like this at one time or another, but the arrogance and stupidity of the people that proudly show it on the Internet tells me of the level of civility / decency / education these people have.
I'm not about to pay a staggering $15.00 for that.

So by just looking at the photos you were able to determine that THOSE picketing all or some of them spit in food?
Also, you are not paying 15.00 ... You are probable paying pennies on the dollar. I read somewhere that if they increased their sandwiches by 48 cents they could double the salary rate and also include full benefits. To me .48 is a savings compared to what I am paying for emergency room health care.
And, you could choose not to eat at one of the fast food places that chose to take care of their employees ... In fact it would be healthier for you not to anyway.
That leads to an ideal question. Would you pay 50 cents more for a burger at seller A who pays more than min wage and provides full benefits vs regular price for seller B who does neither?
I choose to shop at Costco because of that very reason. Somehow they pay their workers over 40,000 per year and give full benefit to both full time and part time employees while SAMs club pays less than 20,000 and cuts hours to avoid paying benefits, yet Costco made over 500m in profits last quarter. How can that be? You tell me whose employees are more of a drag on the economy?
