How much should a fortune cookie writer make?

[Minnie_me]

Fortune cookie writers are lazy. They work short hours, get long vacations and great benefits. I say that they should get paid according to how accurate their fortunes are. If the fortunes come true, they get paid more. If not, they should be let go.

Well, the market for Chinese take out is largely dependent on customers getting their expected fortune cookie. So if the fortune writers decided with their union to go on strike, then the Chinese take out industry would falter. So it's really a question of economics, and what the free market system will tolerate.

I'd love to be a fortune cookie writer. I'd just do everything I'm supposed to until the day I decide to quit.. when I will sneak in many fortunes of doom!

"You will die in 3 hours.. and your lucky numbers are 1, 9, 12, 342"

Yes, they are generally pretty lame! All though they become much more entertaining if you add "in your pants" to the end.

OR

"in bed"

I thought of this thread today lol a friend of mine got a fortune in her cookie that said... and I quote

"WOW a secret message from your teeth"

Some of them are very clever though. Best one I ever got was "Pass the bill to the guy on your left"

haha see now that guy should get a raise lol

maybe this one was supposed to be clever like ....

since you are eating the cookie you take a bite (with your teeth lol) and there is a message inside so a secret message from your teeth? I don't know lol

I think that if they stick to actually telling your fortune, then maybe they deserve at least a living wage.

However, in recent visits to Bamboo Forest, all I've gotten are popular sayings and once, an anecdote. No fortunes were to be found in any of the cookies.
