but isn't that rent, or that mortgage payment, going to come due, sooner or later?
Mortgages, yes.  Rent, no.  Most fast food workers rent.  
.
As someone already posted, landlords will be destroyed.  Middle class slowly being phased out.

At one Chic-Fil-A near a Traditional Catholic parish- the manager is hiring kids from that parish with no interview required because they are  from that parish. Why? Because the parishioners who already work at that Chic-Fil-A have such a good work ethic that the manager knows he will be hiring a good employee.
All my nephews and nieces who are at the age of working-are scoring summer jobs. One has received two raises and he has only worked 3-4 months! They are so desperate for workers!
I told my son the other day, if it weren't for having to run errands on command for the family, and if I didn't have a massive job on my hands with my father's probate, his estate was more complicated than I realized "going into this", I'd have half a mind to go to work for a few weeks, in between our school terms, and snag some extra cash to augment pension and investment proceeds.  Perhaps it could be a George Plimpton experience, do something that's outside your wheelhouse, and then write about it.  (Or maybe like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie working at Sonic...)

I have heard that you really have to jump through hoops to get a job at CFA, and that obtaining a CFA franchise is not for the faint of heart.  (But at least you get off Sundays.) 

All of that "my pleasure" business would really get up my butt.  I guess that's my New Yorker streak.  (I have had many friends from NYC and I guess it's kind of rubbed off here and there.  You have to work really hard to offend me.  But then again, I have very low expectations of modern humans anyway, why should I expect otherwise?  A lot of things that offend other people, just fly over my head, more important things to worry about.  There are other virtues besides unctuous, unneeded hyper-courtesy.)

I'm still scratching my head, trying to figure out how being a landlord can be parasitical, at least for a small owner who makes their living like that.  My father had several rental properties over the years.  You can't be lazy and be a good landlord.  More work and aggravation than one realizes.  I wouldn't be up for it, I'll just say that much.  I saw too much growing up.

After my husband was laid off and then began losing his eyesight, our kids had to go to work. Because they were being homeschooled, they were easily hired by Chick fil a and they were able to work plus continue homeschooling bc their school schedules were flexible. I am so glad that was their first job experience.
