Dear Jimmy John's

Your commercials are not funny.  Not even close.  Actually they are all kinds of awful.  Did you just let the most annoying jackass that thinks he is funny come up with these terrible spots?  Fix it.  Freaky fast? F'ing stupid more like it.

Minimum Wage

I see that the $15.00 an hour wage honks are out in full force again.   Listen, there are great people that work for minimum wage but $15.00 an hour is a total and complete joke.   When you are making minimum wage that really means you are pretty much expendable as an employee.  If you can be replaced by the next schmo that walks in the door, you are not worth $15.00 an hour.  Sorry, that is the reality of it.  Make yourself an asset to the company you work for so they want, better yet, need you around.  You will not be at $7.25 for long.  If you have been working as the fry cook for three years, there is something wrong with YOU not your employer.  Tell me what you do at your work and I can tell you if you deserve $15.00 an hour.  Can a machine do it……uh oh, you are not worth $15.00 an hour.  "These people need $15.00 an hour to feed their family" is what you hear from the "activists".  If you are counting on your minimum wage job to keep your family fed, you have made a terrible choice or choices in your life that has put you in this situation.  Are there exceptions to the rule?  Hell yes, but more often than not it is someone that has shown extremely poor judgement in their life.  And all these Hollywood asshats that are out supporting this farce, I have one questions for you; what do you pay your personal assistant or PA?  You want to talk slave wages?  Go talk to the Hollywood elite and what they get away with.  Their reaction, "They are replaceable".  Guess what, so is the girl taking my order at the counter of KFC.  I know this from experience so can the heartless horse shit.  Work your ass off at a place long enough and you will get promoted.  If you don't, look in the damn mirror or take your "talents" somewhere will you will get promoted.   Life owes you nothing.
