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.

I live in Sacramento. I’m fine with all the McDonalds franchises in California shutting down.

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.

    That’s a good point, although I think greed is the main reason

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

    Pratai ,

    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.

    LostInTheOzone ,

    You mean, just like all restaurants and fast-food franchises were going to go bankrupt if they raised minimum wage to $15.00 up here?

    It’s been several years, and I haven’t seen any boarded-up McDonald’s during that time.

    Niello ,

    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.

    if we have to pay a living wage fast food will die

    Then die.

    If your business can’t afford to pay a fair wage, it doesn’t deserve to exist.

    Will somebody please think about the poor stock price 😢.

    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

    hamid ,

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

    Yes… And?

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