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

LavaPlanet ,

I call bullshit in Australian minimum wage, because they’ve been doing just fine paying more than that here, for quite a while.

kureta ,

and I say to them “eat shit and die”

aport ,

That’s what McDonalds tells their patrons too

Cruxifux ,

There go the petty bougies complaining again as if we give a shit.

Boo hoo. If you can’t run your business without exploiting the fuck out of people then you don’t deserve to be in business. Fuck off already your food is SHIT.

quams69 ,

Fuck mcdonalds 👍

reagansrottencorpse ,

I guess they can’t afford to do business 🤷

Go get a job, lazy ass “owners”.

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.

Astronautical ,

Pretty sure everywhere it’s 1.25 now, aside from a couple states.

Try Canada. A large costs like 3.40

Wel I mean Canadian Rupees cost like 60 freedom cents, so…

ratskrad ,

… 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.

They’re doing just fine in Australia where the minimum wage is higher than that

ITT: People with no idea how franchises work.

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.

GeneralEmergency ,

If they think McDonald’s are the one paying employees then they don’t know shit.

hamid ,

Good. Maybe people will become less spherical with lower availability of this shit.

Big company suffers devistating effects when told to pay their workers well.

Well boo-fucking-hoo

Badass_panda ,

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.

Honestly sounds like something McDonald’s should be fixing still.

Badass_panda ,

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

Mongostein ,

Well, if this does kill franchises, it will hurt McDonald’s. They’re not making money off empty buildings.

Coreidan ,

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.

Wilibus ,

Won’t someone please think of the wealthy upper middle class!
