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.
The guy who owns the franchise my nephew worked at in high school drove an actual Rolls Royce. He owned a few, but goddamn. The guy who owned the franchise I worked at 20 years earlier owned like 3 houses or something and flew planes as a hobby (idk if he owned one).
Excuse me for not giving a shit about a financial blow to people like them.
And? Of course it'll cost them money. They have been hoarding pay increases for years. 8f your business model doesn't support paying a decent wage, your business model sucks.
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.
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.
If, like me, you're concerned that franchisees may not be able to raise prices and offset this $250k in yearly expenses, worry no more because they totally can.
This whole complaint is nonsense. That's a trivial markup per food item.
No it won't, you'll just make slightly less profits, but you'll still be profitable. If it helps sweetie, you shouldn't have been making that much profit in the first place, you're just getting called out on your bullshit now.
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.
Go fuck yourself, world's leading fast food restaurant and the inventor of the chain franchise. Billions served, hundreds of billions of dollars made, millions of tons of food thrown 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!
They always say this, it never happens because the min wage when it was originally implemented would be 35 dollars now. It didn't happen then, it won't happen now, but the press just reports this stuff like McD's is serious.
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.
they just pass the bill on to the consumer. from the dollar menu to the 1 2 3 dollar menu. soon it'll be the "under $5 club" but the cheapest item will be a small fry for $3.79
These prices have nothing to do with their actual cost. The "inflation" is them raising prices arbitrarily to flirt with the line of when poor people will finally revolt. They are just flying closer to the Sun by choice today, these aren't in reaction to any real world choice or condition that the business needs to make to "survive"
