burger flippers

Fast food employees

Burger flippers are workers at fast-food restaurants, named for the iconic motion of turning hamburger patties on a grill.

The term is often dismissive, implying low-skill, low-wage labor: He didn't go to college to end up flipping burgers.

Politicians invoke burger flippers when debating minimum wage or economic opportunity.
