Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Why would you buy two orders when you only want one? Wouldn't that literally double the cost, too?
No change in cost? It's $6.50 altogether - $1.50 for drink and fries, and about $5 for the double QP (40% off deal). The app limits you to one deal per order every 15 minutes. The 15 minute timer starts when the order is placed, however, and they may make your food early but not usually for fries and a drink. So you place the 2nd order after you pick up the first so you can use another deal to order the sandwich, once the timer expires.
Oh I see, you order fries and a drink using a deal to get $1.50, wait fifteen minutes, and then order a burger with another deal?
Right
On first reading that, I thought it was a bit fiddly or sort of defeating the point of "fast", but actually the more I think about it... Fair enough lol, that's cheap for that much food
The price per calorie (.004 cents per cal) is pretty good, and you can place the first order while you drive over so you don't have to wait long. 15min timer starts when order is placed on phone.
Honestly, fair play. Glad you've found a hack! I just ate an entire quiche from my local supermarket, cost like $3 for 800kcal.
