Probably time to boycott fast food entirely.
I have no enthusiasm to enter a business with disgruntled, surly
employees demanding and not getting higher wages.
You're just asking for a burger where the mayo isn't mayo.
They seem to take it out on the customers as if it's their fault
so to support them you need to not patronize their employers
but which may result in less employees because of lagging business.

Quite a conundrum
