怎能如此?
怎么不能依靠民主制度把万恶的公司们投下去?

According to a new guide released recently by a group dedicated to workplace justice, some of the most popular fast-food, fine-dining, and family-friendly restaurants in the United States -- including McDonald's, The Capital Grille, and The Olive Garden -- are also the worst ones at which to work.

"We all enjoy eating out," Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) writes on the website for its National Diners' Guide 2012. "Unfortunately, the workers who cook, prepare, and serve our food suffer from poverty wages, no benefits like paid sick days, and little or no chance to move up to better positions. When the people who serve us food can't afford to pay the rent or take a day off when they're sick, our dining experience suffers."

Ninety percent of the more than 4,300 restaurant workers surveyed by ROC reported not offering employees paid sick leave. Two-thirds of those surveyed reported that their employees routinely cook, prepare, and serve food while sick.

Workers are entitled to a minimum wage of $7.25 per hour if they do not receive tips and $2.13 per hour if they do, as well as overtime pay, if they work more than 40 hours per week; if tips and wages don't add up to $7.25 per hour, the employer is obligated to make up the difference. But many workers aren't aware that they're entitled to payment for all of the hours they work, let alone at what rate. And a wage gap exists even among workers making the bare minimum that the government requires employers to pay. "Women, immigrants, and people of color hold lower-paying positions in the industry, and do not have many opportunities to move up the ladder," the report found. "Among the 4,300 workers surveyed, we found a $4 wage gap between white workers and workers of color, and 73 percent reported not receiving regular promotions on the job."

The guide ranked 150 of the most profitable restaurants in the United States on how much their workers earn, whether they get paid sick leave, and what kind of chances they have for advancement. A shocking number of well-known restaurant chains earned "zero" ratings because they didn't meet any of the minimum requirements for their workers -- and, contrary to what you might think, there are more than a few high-end fine-dining establishments on the list. Take a look:

Applebee's
Baskin-Robbins
Bob Evans
Boston Market
Buffalo Wild Wings
Burger King
California Pizza Kitchen
The Cheesecake Factory
Chuck E. Cheese
Cracker Barrel
Dunkin Donuts
Einstein Bros. Bagels
Hard Rock Cafe
Hooters
IHOP
KFC
Legal Seafoods
McDonald's
Outback Steakhouse
P.F. Chang's
Pizza Hut
Quiznos
Red Robin
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
Sonic
Subway
TGI Friday's
Taco Bell
Uno Chicago Grill
Wendy's

In addition, four restaurants -- the tony Capital Grille steakhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, the Olive Garden, and Red Lobster, all of which are owned by Darden -- were flagged for possible illegal practices because workers there have sought help for discrimination and wage theft.

"When you go out to eat, you shouldn't get wage theft, racism, and sick cooks in the kitchen along with your meal," Eric Schlosser, author of "Fast Food Nation," writes in an endorsement of the ROC guide. "How the food tastes at a restaurant really doesn't matter if the people who work there are being mistreated."

Representatives from some of the listed restaurants, including McDonald's, Olive Garden, Applebee’s, and Burger King, have not yet returned requests for comment.

There were a few good guys on the list, mostly local places in New York, Michigan, and California. But, nationally speaking, Five Guys Burgers and Fries -- a national chain that oozes retro charm and a simple menu -- received high marks across the board.
