Weslee ,

McDonald’s CEO salary is at $20 million, but yeah paying the employees, who actually bring value to the company, a living wage is the problem

    I just realised, I was on my way back to delete/edit. Only just got my coffee and reading is hard!

    Thank you for the clarification though

    McDonald’s franchise owners are simply a group of multi millionaires and not billionaires, where did my tiny violin go for them?

    Ottomateeverything ,

    Yes… And?

    Slave labor would be much more profitable, but we have values beyond just your profits.

    Has McDonald’s seen what it charges for its garbage food these days? $20 ain’t shit.

    McDonald’s used to be relatively cheap.

    Now it costs as much as a lot of the sit down restaurants in my area. Getting out for under $16 is a task and it’s more likely gonna cost me $20+.

    Wendy’s is still affordable for the most part and has taken over those times I’d normally go to McDonald’s.

    The only decently affordable fast food places are wendys and taco bell. Atleast that ive noticed from the big ones. The local ones can still be cheap.

    Wingstop is pretty decently priced too.

    Panda Express was too but stopped being reasonable around the time they launched their rewards program.

    Fucken rewards programs, the battlepass of food and retail.

    June ,

    They used to be a nice bonus. Now they seem to be an excuse to raise prices.

    McDs is one of the longest-lasting and most profitable chains in the world and a bunch of Ayn Rand-slurping assholes insist that they cannot possibly survive without exploitation so WONT YOU THINK OF THE POOR MULTIMILLIONAIRES??!!!

    You can go to the pub and get a better burger and a beer for almost the same as McDonald’s.

    CeeBee ,

    I live in a small town, McDonald’s is the only “fast food” place here until last week when a Popeye’s chicken opened. That place had been packed every day since they opened. You can get an equivalent meal for two at nearly the price of one meal at McDonald’s.

    Plus the food at Popeye’s is way better.

    They can just run the kitchens themselves to save a few bucks

    This is a threat, not capitulation

    To quote FDR:

    In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

    APassenger ,

    We need an FDR. I’d take a modern Roosevelt. Any of them, assuming they keep up with the times (equality, similar).

    Any = FDR, Eleanor, Teddy

    They may only be able to give executives a 20% raise next year if this goes ahead.

    Don’t threaten me with a good time.

    Poor-poor tiny McDonald’s.

    mycatiskai ,

    It will be ever so devastating for their employees to actually be able to afford a meal at their own restaurant.

    Whatever will they do with all of these new customers that are also their own employees.

    Boo hoo, if you can’t capitalism right then your business should go under right? Isn’t that what they believe?
