Not the same thing. An essential worker was somebody doing a job needed for society to continue. That includes both skilled (years of training) jobs and unskilled (a week or two at most before you can do it) jobs.
Was McDonald's and Starbucks really necessary for society to continue? And if it is: They should definitely be paid a lot more just for that, let alone the minimum necessary to survive (which they don't get).
Probably not, but there's a lot of people who don't know how to make any food at all. Close the fast food restaurants and they starve.
Maybe if, in the days of being able to look up almost literally any recipe on planet earth, as well as endless catalogues of cooking tutorials, a person cannot manage to mangle together enough food to not starve to death without McDonald's sustaining them, then this person is simply taking their Darwin award?
You don't even need a recipe. You can walk into any supermarket or deli and buy a meal in a can or a box.
What if they can't figure out how to open the can or box?
