You know like, "Hah! We have college degrees and you didn't even graduate High School!"
Or, "Would you like fries with that, Chubby!"
Or maybe they go into a Mc Donald's *in uniform* and order a cup of coffee.....

I knew one guy that works for McDonalds as a general manager and he's making nearly 50 grand a year and only has an Associates degree. He's also got some stock options and the company gave him a car. He'll be a district or area director one of these days and he'll clear 60K-70K easily.

And why are we talking only about food?
Do you think the people that work at Macy's or Saks look down on people that work at Wal-Mart or Target?

I work at a lot of things...but understanding babble isn't one of them.

Your question or query seemed to fall on the irony of a Starbucks employee looking down on a McDonalds employee.

Among the firms I own, one is a construction company.  One of which dealt with McDonalds both corporately as well as on an individual franchisee basis some 20 years ago.

I used to have a rather limited view of McDonalds (and their employees) back then.

And then I met a few franchisee owners (who used to be employees).  Some owned multiple stores.

Few had any money in the game (plenty of skin and hustle...but being kids...no money)...but McDonalds saw future in them.  They produced.

And they were given opportunities galore, in the venue of stores wherein which they got (by virtue of their unending desire to see the store wherein which they were just an employee...do well...and did everything to make it so) a store...35% theirs (if they met profit goals) and 65% corporate.

10 years later they owned 5 (or 15) stores of their own, financed by corporate, "given" because corporate saw an advantage in "giving" these people their own stores.  It made corporate more money than had they owned them corporately.

These were kids.  Hamburger flippers barely 10 years prior.

And today they own homes, cars and boats that would make Popeye blush.

(Paid for in cash, by the way).

Wanna belittle these guys Popeye? 

Try to travel in their social circles.

You couldn't afford their cable bill.

Many of these owners are in their very early 40's.  Their net worth is in the lower millions and growing.

In their early 40's.

I'm sorry....you live in a condo...right?  And you're how old?

(By the way...how's that 7.5% mortgage working out for you?)

One of my closest friends worked as a McDonald's manager for 5 years.  He made the money you are talking about.  He only had a GED and worked his way up to manager in less than 2 years.  He quit to sell insurance because they made him work close to 60 hours a week.  He never saw his family.  I never look down on anyone because of their job.  I think it's ridiculous to say a person wasted their time by going to school because they don't make tons of money too.  I went to school to get an education.  I don't make a lot of money, but I have enough.  I went to school to learn and to better myself.

Anything in management is going to take 40-60 hours a week, sometimes even more.

And if it is your own business, basically you are never off work. Some people don't realize that creating and operating a small business is like working more than 2 full time jobs. It's a lot of hard work but that is really the only way to make serious cash, as long as you are successful.

Oh I agree.  It all comes down to what are priorities in a person's life.  In my friend's case, the time he spent with his family was more valuable than money.  We all have to admit that it doesn't take a lot of money to live well.  You just have to decide what you are willing to do with out.  I have never been one to chase money.  I make enough, and I don't want my life to be consumed with work.  I would much rather have my time than have a huge house and a expensive car.  Like I said, it is all about what motivates you in life.

Kittensol, no, just having some fun.
Starbucks employees are known to be snooty and a high percentage of them have college degrees compared to other employees in the "Hospitality" business.
I was just wondering what they thought of other people in that business in a comical way.
I'm a comedian but only intelligent people understand my sense of humor.
