Do you like taco bell? Do you see value in fast food existing as a convenience?
If you think that fast food jobs shouldn't exist at all (and everyone should have the means and the free time to make food at home, with accommodations for those who physically can't cook for themselves), I have more sympathy with your position (even though I still disagree with some of your opinions). But if you want fast food, retail, or any similar services to keep existing, someone will always have to work in those poorly-valued jobs. And I don't think they deserve less than the rest of us.
Tbh I think the average fast food employee works a hell of a lot harder during their shift than I do at mine. I'm sitting at my desk typing on social media right now; the guy at the taco bell next door is standing in a hot kitchen, pumping out quesadillas for hours. Sure, my job requires more specific skills, but now that I already have those skills, I'm not laboring more strenuously to use them. If my education had been free, and I didn't need a higher wage to pay off my student debt/catch up for the years I hadn't spent working? I don't think I'd "deserve" more than the taco bell guy.
