A devastating financial blow, to our yearly bonuses.

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

Go fuck yourself, world’s leading fast food restaurant and the inventor of the chain franchise. Billions served, hundreds of billions of dollars made, throws millions of tons of food away, and still can’t afford to pay people a living wage? Instead of eating McDonald’s, let’s just eat McDonald’s. Eat the rich!

Since they’ve been shrinking down the size of their meals and raising the prices along the way- I’ve no sympathy for them at all. Let them go under. We’d be better off.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Oh darn. Anyway

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.

… to the franchisees 🙄 To everyone else though, we’ll get a livable wage.

And let’s be honest, this devastating financial blow they speak of probably just means 1 less yacht for them.

Oh boo hoo, cry me a fucking river you fat, greasy suits. You’ve been taking advantage of workers since inception. You can absolutely afford to pay your workers $20/hr, you just won’t have as much profit. So what? You’ll still make ridiculous money. America is disgusting. I’m just disgusted with all the inequality. People are battling every day just to survive, and these corporate fucks are crying while wiping their tears with $100 bills and the shirts off the backs of their employees. Fuck off.

Their business can’t just absorb this cost. That’s not how businesses work. What they can do is raise prices a few cents each and pay the cost.

Franchisees are empowered to set their own pricing, so this is a non-issue.

I can almost guarantee a lot of locations wouldn’t even need to do that. The owner would just have to not take a bonus. God forbid that though.

SCB ,

Per the article it’s a $250k cost of labor increase on average

You lot are so unsympathetic this could mean some people will have to wait another year for their private islands where’s your humanity!

HellAwaits ,

Please donate a tissue to these fat suits so they can keep crying while the workers get a fair wage

geolaw ,

This is a threat, not capitulation

eek2121 ,

They already pay $20/hour in my area. I am not in Cali.

Miqo ,

They advertise like $11 / hour where I live for managers.

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.

Ok.

Oh noooo other restaurants managed even without universally well known name to back them up. How could Mcdonald ever survive? The Mcdonalds in Europe have to be in shamble, surely.
