Does This 'Fox & Friends' Host Know McDonald's Workers Don't Earn Tips?

Raising the minimum wage is a super-sized nothingburger to the “Fox & Friends” hosts.
While tearing into the House’s recently passed bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and criticizing Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for supporting a $20 minimum wage, co-host Brian Kilmeade ranted about how raising the minimum wage would “destroy small businesses” by encouraging people to make low-paying jobs into a career.
“If your one job doesn’t pay enough, guess what you do, you get another job. That’s what you do in your 20s,” Kilmeade said. “Having two jobs, part-time jobs, while going to school is something people have done since the turn of the last century.”
Co-host Ainsley Earhardt then piggybacked off of Kilmeade’s argument of how a minimum wage job such as waiting tables is “not meant to be a career” before going off on a tangent about tipping at places like McDonald’s — where employees do not earn tips.

And this person sits on a white couch everyday in front of cameras, making millions and talking about her experiences of going into a McDonald's, and I just wonder if and when she goes into a McDonald's with all of here richness and her kids, does she give that person a tip, and then look at her kids and say one day you also can work at McDonald's..............................give me fucking break............................
