My first job was Mcdonalds. We had a double drive-thru there, and I was able to take both drive thru oders, cash them out, hand them their food/drinks, all by myself. Thus, fulfilling a job that usually took 4 people to do, and doing it better than a group of people could have.
By "useless trash" I'm talking about 90% of fast food workers. There were a few good ones, but overall most people didn't give a shit and just tried scrapping by doing the bare minimum, whereas I went above and beyond every single day.
If we had more people like me, and less people like that stoned guy on grill who does a horrible job, it'd be infinitely better.
And yeah, that is a bit cocky of me to say, I know. But simple fact of the matter is, I work harder and smarter than 90% of the population. Yet in an environment like Mcdonalds, there's little to no reward/incentive to do so. Which is why 90% of the people don't make the effort.
If we incentivized the laziness out of people, by offering jobs with competitive pay, even at lower level jobs, I think we'd all be amazed at what people are actually capable of. And if they still don't want to step it up, fire them.

Well, It's not supposed to be life sustaining wages.
Most people I met in the fast food industry had that one job, and nothing else. Granted, most of them were high schoolers so they didn't really give a shit. But there were a few older people who kind of made a career out of it. (Ironically, those were the only people worth a damn, even if making a career in fast food, without trying for a promotion, is pathetic.)
