Many many older people are working, some well into their 70s.
Big Nana,
In my book they shouldn't be allowed to because they're denying a younger, possibly a family to earn an income. 65-67 year olds should retire to make room for the younger who need the work. The older has a Pension.

Hey individual,
What do you think of McDonalds, they do the opposite.
I mean they give younger people jobs and that's good.

- But they're profiteering of child exploitation, and I'll tell you how.

McDonalds seems to be a tricky sort of a business where if you thought about it, the child wage should probably be more than the adult wage.

Making burgers.
Now I don't know if others will agree, but I think 15 - 16 year old boys at Maccas (you never see and girls cooking, always serving - so they're sexist too, I digress) can probably make burgers faster that 21 year-olds and above.

I'm not saying they can make them better, because I don't think they can;
But I think they can make them faster, and that's all that matters.

Think about it.
They get workers more productive than adult workers;
At half the cost, and probably a government subsidy as well.

Some of these work subsides might be a waste of money too...
There's only one job, and only one amount of tax that can be paid from that job.
Let the person who doesn't need a subsidy have it, otherwise it's just a wealth transfer, and another Cloward and Piven example.

individual,

I agree. People of pensionable age shouldn't be taking jobs off young people. Self-employed oldies can do as they please - they might even be employing young people - but older workers should know when to get out of the way and for the young.

Armchair Critic,
That sounds like a job for old mate Belly ! He's in with the Unions who always claim to support the workers, for a fee of course.

Hi AC,

That efficiency thing might work as long as you don't digress from the set menu. My wife likes likes the ice cream at Macca's in a cup, but with no flavouring. Just the other day;

Paul; "One large 'Sundae', but just the ice cream only."
Girl; "What flavour do you want?"
Paul; "Ah! make that strawberry, but without the strawberry, sorry changed my mind, make it chocolate without the chocolate, they are so much nicer."
Girl; "Okay, one large chocolate sundae, with no chocolate."
Paul; "Yes that is correct."

The same girl made the cup of ice cream, as she was dispensing the stuff into the cup, she turned to me and said something like "That's a chocolate sundae with no chocolate you want?" I replied "That's correct." Now there's efficiency!

Old people can be just as dottie;

The son the bus driver telling me a story;

He picks up old lady on a run to La Parouse late Sunday night. She's the only passenger still on the bus when it arrives at Larpa at about 11pm. Son calls "last stop". The OL comes up and asks "What time do you go back into town? I'm going to Kensington." Sorry I'm finished for the night, going back to the depot. Last bus in left about 5 minutes ago, we passed it on the way." The OL explained she had been waiting for that bus so long, she decided to cross the road and catch the outbound bus to Larpa and then stay on and return to where she wanted to go. Bad logic, she missed her bus, got on the wrong bus and was then isolated late at night. The son feeling sorry, said "Stay on and I'll take you back to civilisation, and you can catch a cab."

Hey Paul1405,

Maybe the old lady felt safer on the bus late at night rather than sitting for a long period of time at the bus stop late at night.

I think McDonalds soft serve tastes better than Hungry Jacks;
But I know a menu hack for soft serve ice cream; haven't tried this at Maccas though.

Hungry Jacks:
Ask for an 'ice cream cone in a cup with a squirt of chocolate', and you'll get a mini chocolate sundae for 60 cents.

"That efficiency thing might work as long as you don't digress from the set menu."
I wasn't advocating any position on the issue of Macca's workers, just pointing it out.
I tend to sometimes see flaws or inconsistencies in things, I don't know why.

I don't want their prices to go up any more, but the app-based offers are pretty good.

Now I know why I don't like these new proposed changes;
I think it officially makes us all cattle, our entire lives managed for someone else's benefit, that is - the productivity we can achieve for the world from the time were born till were dead.
