Perhaps you should read up on it's labor practices. Two cases in point: They encourage their employees to sign up for food stamps, which results in a $6.2B government subsidy[1]. Also, the workers are intentionally paid so little (via only part-time employment) the company asks customers to donate food to their employees.

That company is scum.

What's wrong with the government subsidizing low-income citizens? Where they happen to work is irrelevant.


So why do people work there if it such a bad job? My second job at Burger King wasn't great, but I didn't plan on making a career there.
