McDonald’s operates in many, many countries, several of which require minimum wage way higher than what they pay workers in the US. I’m sure they’ll be fine.
Without doxxing yourself, can I ask where? I live in one of the lowest COL states and McDonalds managers are still advertised at least $18/hr or more. Even the part time employees usually start around $14 from the signs outside the store.
In this case, the franchisees (small business owners) are saying the big business (McDonalds, which makes its money off of real estate and franchise fees) is going to be fine but they (the people that make money from owning a restaurant) are in trouble.
For many of them, it’s true; they didn’t consider whether they could open this business if they had to pay a living wage. Unfortunately, that’s not our problem, but it won’t be a problem for McDonalds either.
Not the way their business works… I think that franchising is an innately predatory business model and in need of severe legal reform. Let’s not ask McD to do it, let’s make them
Good. I hope they go out of business and the owners have to cry themselves to sleep. I hope they have to sell everything they own before having to work a minimum wage job.
I think people know, but it’s going to be like they treat landlords. Ideologically opposed. EDIT: thanks for the downvote for a neutral prediction. I’d like to thank the Academy, Spez, and users like you.
still $7.25 federally a lot of states still are especially in manufacturing states there is low wage and low regulations and low education country is not getting more united
BS. They said the same thing about $15, then COVID forced it on them (and presumably also raised their own costs for supplies), and it’s been fine. I think my McDs charges 1.25 for a soda now instead of a dollar.
