Burger King review: Innocent people turning into crooks ( 1 comment)

Fast food jobs are among the lowest-paid in the U.S., with many workers earning near minimum wage and lacking access to health insurance, paid leave, or retirement plans.

Many of the employees are seeking public assistance programs to subsidize the BK income, as many workers rely on Medicaid, food stamps, and other support due to inadequate pay.

Insufficient hours and unpredictable scheduling compound the problem, making it hard for workers to plan or sustain a stable income.

These conditions can push workers toward informal or unauthorized ways to supplement income, such as manipulating time clocks, misreporting sales, ghost employees or other covert tactics—not necessarily out of malice, but as a survival response to systemic underpayment.

Underpaid and overworked employees often experience burnout, low morale, and reduced motivation, which directly affects customer service and operational efficiency.

High turnover rates in fast food—often exceeding 100% annually—mean constant retraining and loss of institutional knowledge, further slowing down operations.
So, basically you are employing people from team members to higher up in the chain, with very few exceptions, and turning them to professional crooks and above all they are proud of it.
You need to invest in restructuring your wage scale which can dramatically improve efficiency, retention, morale and above all heightened loyalty for the BK company.
I am sure you are aware of this situation, corporate as well as franchisees, but nothing is being done to correct it.
Thank you
