> This is not a low skilled job. I'd say it would be easier to change your cars oil than complete this. There's multiple gaskets and seals which need to be rotated quarterly in a tune up kit. While we were hiring at minimum wage the shake machine trained people were making 15$. I can only imagine what they're making now.
Genuine question: Mom-and-pop shops used to somehow keep their frozen yogurt machines running with part-time teenager labor. What does this particular machine do that makes it so complicated?
Is it complicated merely for the sake of "job security" on behalf of the ice cream machine vendor?
- wronglebowski 5y agoI'm vaguely familiar with the pay by weight frozen yogurt shops. I can't speak from first hand experience but I would say that if you had 6+ machines and that was all your business did it would be a non issue. A few locations, rotate your cleaning days, could be handled by one individual that services them all.
- SkyBelow 5y agoIs part-time teenager labor the same as low skilled labor? In general but also more specifically to the time period you were referencing? While teenagers generally have low experience, some of them are have the ability to perform at a level above low skill and are able to follow complex instructions. Look at any of them in more advanced classes who are performing academics at a level beyond what would qualify as low skill. These could've been the teenager running the machines at those mom and pop shops of yesteryear. It does lead me to question where are they working now and why not at McDonald's. Given a moment of thought I've already generated a number of hypothesis that might explain it, but I'm too lacking in relevant data to narrow them down.
