The warehouse potentially pays more...
$18/hour starting wage in the warehouse.
$11-$17/hour starting wage at McDonalds.
Location is a factor. Some of the warehouses are located in the far outer suburbs, making them the largest employer in some areas/towns.
Food service in particular, I think, is having a lot more difficulty hiring and retaining people than they're used to, even with considerably higher wages and hiring bonuses, but if you believe what you read in the news then it sounds like Amazon warehouses aren't (otherwise you'd think they'd ease up a little on being hardasses). These aren't exactly the same type of job, but they're "pretty similar" in many ways. So, what's the difference?
