That's a very odd thing to say.
Do you seriously believe that McDonald's, one of the most efficient restaurants in the world, hasn't developed one of the best processes in order to flip burgers? They have entire training departments dedicated to things like that, they have industrial engineering departments devoted to doing time and motion studies to ensure they are not wasting hours.
Just because your wage rises 20%, does not make you 20% more productive.

Just because someone is 'low-skill' doesn't mean they are an idiot.

As someone who has hired plenty of people for 'low skill' jobs in Calgary... It might not be completely true, but it isn't far from the truth either. Lots of people that are hired have the career cap of "cashier".
The retail / food service industry is entering a time of crisis right now, where the current group of managers will be retiring within the next 3-5 years and their replacements are nowhere in sight. If you want to become an assistant manager and eventually Store Manager at a retail outlet, now is the time. Those jobs don't pay badly either (a good store manager earns 100k+ with bonus).
