I'm inclined to cut minimum-wage workers some slack. Yes, there's been a definite decline in customer service over the past five years. There's also been record corporate profits along with very vocal opposition to raising wages. When you're getting the same crappy pay whether or not the customer is happy, and the company is making bank, then there's not a lot of incentive to be an exemplary employee. That's why if I want a cheap burger, I go to In-N-Out instead of McDoodoo's. BTW, if you go to In-N-Out, order your burger "Animal style." It's not on the main menu, but you get pickles, extra sauce, and grilled onions. And the place will be busy no matter what time you go. And you'll get your food in five minutes at the most, no matter how busy it is. And every service person will give you excellent service. Because they're all making more than minimum wage, get dental, vision, health, and life insurance, and retirement. Even if they're only part time.
