The wage is minimal, as expected for a fast food store. What is not minimal is the amount of work. To make money, a store keeps it's floor staff at a minimum, and for at least 50% at the day shift the crew members must literally run and depending of the location, serve the drinks, sandwiches and run cashiers at a ridiculous pace. At some moments, because of the huge lining up, we were serving the coffee so fast we didn't had the time to stir! That was ridiculous. Considering the minimum wage, this is a ridiculous amount of work. Maybe for students it's just an entry job, but on many locations half the staff are persons who are paying a house and sending kids to school. Those people still earn such miserable salary for such a hard work. Not everybody had the chance to stay in school. Meanwhile, the co-founder of the company is billionaire, runs his 40 millions dollars yacht, and in average a store owner makes 200.000$+ clear a year after all expenses. This is a Canadian money making machine at the expense of thousands of hard working poorly paid canadian employees. Yes, the customers get reasonable quality products at the cheapest price, but at which real price. On top of it, the floor managers I've come to meet or had been interviewed by, where for most part angry persons with bully attitude. The store owners seem to have a preference for such persons.
Finally, the company has hypocrite policies such as making their employees fill grids with questions such as how satisfied are you about your job, manager, pay, etc. Really.
