Well – that's the problem with service related jobs. Customer contact and production are so close together that production of your product becomes very distributed/de-centralized. As chains like this compete on price and have grown quite large, they are forced/decide to pay their workers low wages. Low wage workers have less concern, loyalty and often less insight into the ramifications of their choices.

The last claim is predicated on the idea that many low-wage/fast food jobs are held by teenagers who, biologically/neurologically are not wired to consider longer-term consequences. I'll find a cite if needed.

So, I'd ask, how responsible is BK for developing a business model that puts low-wage workers front and center as their primary point of production and primary point of contact with consumers?

Lastly, if BK did bring suit, what do you think they'd be able to recover? At best, garnishing minimum wages – if the person had better financial reserves or means, they'd likely not be working production at BK.
