First, most of the people protesting do not work. That is why they have the time to sit outside the McDonald's.
Second, there is a value to be placed upon a given job. Higher pay in no way translates to higher performance.
It is incumbent upon the employee to seek higher wages through higher performance. This is EASY in the fast food business. Employees are so lax that anyone can stand out if they so choose. Fast food establishments universally schedule more employees per shift just so they can have enough help to actually show up. The only places that do not have this problem are the ones that employ primarily seniors.
