Man your perception of the world is really upside-down. Everything you say is pretty egregious but especially the “fast food workers are not training for a whole week, it’s in 30 minutes” shows a lack of understanding of the real world. There’s nothing that makes being a plumber or electrician inherently more skilled than being a fast food worker. I would know because I come from a family of people who work(ed) those exact jobs (electrician, plumber, lineman, etc.) and it generally doesn’t require any more experience or skill than “unskilled” labor, which I have worked and training for most people has never lasted below 2 weeks of on-the-job training. When’s the last time you worked a fast food job…?
Also pulling the “aha, by saying X is a tool for discrimination so you must discriminate based on that” is just sad. It’s the same thing Republicans do, “you’re pointing out racism, but it is in fact you who is the racist one because only a racist would think about how X is used as a tool to divide people”. It’s a cop-out.

That might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Let’s take a plumber they need to be proficient in welding, soldering, pipe fitting, building codes, … It more than just how to use a plunger.
What are fast food workers training on for 40 hours? What skill do fast food workers starting out posses that’s equivalent to welding a high pressure pipe that will pass x-ray inspection.
There’s no reason to be defensive about unskilled labor, it’s not claiming they are mindless idiots, just that they didn’t receive formal training to do their job.
