Re: fast food

I heard there's a BK near Chinook that is only open for drive thru due to not being able to hire staff. One of our office clerks just quit after a few days to go work at MacDonalds for more

I think the "minimum" wage here is somewhere around $12-14 even for kids 14 to work at McDonalds. Hotels can't rent out rooms because they cannot find anyone to clean rooms. It's pretty crazy. I have half done reno's in my house - not because I have not paid top dollar but just because they have so much work they cannot get back out to my place.

My lease is up in Oct.Depending on how high my rent gets jacked,I may leave for BC.I make good $$$$ but if Im paying it all out for rent,its better to go somewhere else.

Everywhere, what do you do? Lots of jobs in Vancouver.

Any leads on programming jobs? My brother is currently looking for work in the Vancouver area in that field.
