Senate to Vote on Minimum Wage

Recommended Posts

And the weather is kind of erratic. They say you know you live in OK if you have used your heater and AC in the same day.

They say that for like every state in the Midwest and New England.

 

I mean, shit, here are some temperatures from this week:

 

Saturday: 62

Sunday: 67

Monday: 41

Tuesday: 30

Wednesday: 30

 

So yeah

Well your friend doesn't like it her. So? I don't think there is any city or state that EVERYONE loves and wants to constantly be in.

 

Czech does it get as bad as it does in OK though? I'm talking 30 in the morning and 90 in the afternoon.

That's awfully hypocritical of you to mention, seeing as how you probably have no fucking clue what life in SoCal is like if the only thing you can associate California (or Los Angeles in particular) is the entertainment industry. There is soooooo much more to it than that.

 

Yeah, like gangs, Mexicans and welfare queens...

I think Lake Michigan prevents anything from getting THAT drastic. I know I've experienced a 50-degree drop from day to night though, just once I think.

Well, the good news is that most jobs that pay minimum wage cant be outsourced to other countries. 

1 Week later

 

McDonalds outsourcing drive thru order taking..

 

The world's largest fast-food chain said on Thursday it is looking into using remote call centers to take customer orders in an effort to improve service at its drive-thrus.

 

"If you're in L.A.... and you hear a person with a North Dakota accent taking your order, you'll know what we're up to," McDonald's Chief Executive Jim Skinner told investors during a presentation at the Bear Stearns Retail, Restaurants & Apparel Conference in New York.

 

At least for now its keeping the person in the U.S., but when they get it perfected, I guess it would be just like getting tech support for computer problems..

I know. But don't try to make it seem like you can't understand why in the hell people would want to leave Oklahoma and move to California just because you don't like it, if that's the case.

Ha. You'd probably like it where I grew up, kkk. It was an upper-middle class, predominantly white, Republican neighborhood called Santa Clarita. I also spent about half the time I lived out there in the Valley though, and that's cetainly not the case (though I've never had a problem with Mexicans or gangs)

Call-Center Drive Thrus? How about just putting out that little electronic board that some places already have that shows your order being punched up?

 

And V-X, was that where you lived or was that where you stole from? There's a big difference, son...

I just looked back a couple pages to an apt. rent discussion..

 

In my hometown, I briefly shared a one room flophouse apt. that cost me fifteen bucks a week. Place was an absolute dump, and we shared a bathroom with this drunk old dude named Paul from across the hall. We'd know if he was home or not in the winter time because he'd set cases of Natural Ice cans outside his window on the sagging porch roof to keep them cold. Cops were at the downstairs hillbilly family every single weekend. What a great house.
