BMs per hour
“I just can’t stop pooping!”
A big mac is sure to give you multiple BM’s per hour
Brazilian minimum wage: 1,528BRL per month, or roughly 6.30 reais per hour.
Big Mac price: 24 reais, or 4 hours of minimum wage work.
Now imagine servers on tips…
IMO some of them are just going to work for the shift meal and pinch whatever they can from the place - leftover food, toilet paper, utentils, etc.
All you can do when you’re basically a slave…
After reading this I am both poor and hungry.
explaining purchasing power collapse to an american:
imagineexperience no burgerFTFY
and what about big PCs?
I have a feeling that the burgers were way less shitty in the 60’s, but were they as big? Theres a myth here that every normal US meal is enough food to feed someone for several days, so I wonder if size has been factored in?
Burgers used to be smaller. A quarter pounder was a big burger.
Also a big Mac costs £6.09 in england, minimum wage soon will be £12.21 = 2 big macs per hour of your labour.
I will mention that they have an app which can make it a lot cheaper and gives freebies and so on.
I like that it implies landlords aren’t people
Implying well known facts.
The biggest indicator of American decline is actually how many hours of work it takes to earn one ounce of gold. In 1950- 46 hours 1956-35 hours 1968-22 hours Today- it is between 289 and 79 hours factoring in time and a half overtime. Minimum wage in America has lost between 84-93% of its value using this metric.
Oh no, here’s where you are wrong. See, it’s a decline for the proletariat only. The bourgeoisie is doing just great.
The last time this showed up people pointed out that big Mac’s cost more like $1.50 in 1980. Still multiple BMs per hour but not as drastic.
I wasn’t alive then but 50 cents seemed low for a big mac, even for the '80s
And a Big Mac isn’t $8 around here and no one is paid federal min wage. It’s $13 in Florida and $15 IRL. Using the app to save, it’s probably 2.5 burgers.
Big Mac is 5.19 in the app for me.
And I don’t know if this is a good indicator of actual minimum wage, but fast food salary on average is way more than $13 an hour. Funny that Florida is right at the bottom of that list. You’d be better off in West Virginia (brand new sentence).

Unexpected, that’s much higher than I expected for Tennessee. The manager positions at the fast food places here are on 17, yet the average fast food worker is over 17 for the state according to that
I’m sure it varies where you live and what the restaurant is. I live near Nashville and saw some fast food places paying $19 an hour starting.
Yeah I’m an hour south in Columbia. 50 miles each way to find a decent job
multiple BMs per hour
This sounds drastic no matter what the number is.
I’m sorry, I had to.
Plausible with that many big macs, though.

Big macs are actually used as a real economic index
And it’s been used enough that Argentina artificially set the price of Big Macs for a few years to hide their rampant inflation.
Meanwhile in Denmark.
Minimum wage for McDonalds employees: 20$+supplements. Big Mac $7
Right now, where I live in Canada, you can buy approximate 3.5 big macs per hour on minimum wage.
Not bad, but not great either.
A Big Mac is $5.19 in my McDonald’s app. Where is this $8 Big Mac?
Probably California but the minimum wage here for a McDonald’s employee is $20 per hour. That’s still more than 2 big Mac’s per hour
