The Fight for 15
I’ve been within the fast-food industry since I was sixteen years old (nearly eighteen years now), and I’ve seen the worst and the best of it. When I started, as a school kid just looking for some extra cash, minimum wage was just that here in New York. Minimum money for minimum work. We were only ever asked to do one thing at a time, and even our managers barely did one thing. Everyone had a place or a piece of the puzzle they handled, and the machine worked. Mostly. Sure, you would get that one customer who would come in and scream in your face, and the managers would look away, but it was rare (at least in my experience—guess I might have just been lucky).

How food helped shape history
The absorption and utilization of food by the body is fundamental to nutrition and is facilitated by digestion. Plants, which convert solar energy to food by photosynthesis, are the primary food source. Animals that feed on plants often serve as sources of food for other animals. To learn more about the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism, see food chain.Hunting and gathering, horticulture, pastoralism, and the development of agriculture are the primary means by which humans have adapted to their environments to feed themselves. Food has long served as a carrier of culture in human societies and has been a driving force for globalization. This was especially the case during the early phases of European trade and colonial expansion, when foods such as the hot red pepper, corn (maize), and sweet potatoes spread throughout Europe to Africa and Asia.

Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the product and creating its logo. Robinson chose the name Coca-Cola because of its two main ingredients (coca leaves and kola nuts) and because it sounded like an alliteration. John Pemberton had taken a break and left Robinson to make and promote, as well as sell Coca-Cola on his own. He promoted the drink with the limited budget that he had, and succeeded.
