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!
Fuck mcdonalds 👍
They’ll wipe their tears with the help of Benjamin Franklin
Cry me a river! Y’all already charging $15+ for a combo meal!
Fuck you, pay them
Yes… And?
Slave labor would be much more profitable, but we have values beyond just your profits.
Don’t give them any ideas.
we have values beyond just your profits.
Heresy! Blasphemy! Heretical Blasphemy! Blasphemical Heresy!
Press X to doubt.
Exactly, they shure as shit don’t have a problem giving their “food” away now. The truth is most likely that telling their investors that they won’t make so much money will be a devastating financial blow.
In our local fast foods most places are already advertising at least $19 hour for new hires. Is also over $20 for a kids meal and one adult meal “deal”, which takes less than 5-6 minutes to sell me.
They’re raking it in.
I mean, my kid worked at a McD and got so much free food and not the stuff they are about to throw, but he would straight up make himself a quarter pounder combo, and then make me one fresh for free as many times as he wanted. He even would stop by on his off days, walk in and cook himself something and they didn’t care because of how much money they brought in. It was stupid and they should definitely raise the salaries of their employees instead of just showering them with free McD food.
Yeah talk about a blessing and a curse.
This is why labor needs to wake up, like it had to in the 30s.
Sounds like McDonald’s can’t afford to do business. I guess the free market will have them close.
Yes except that they were lying and they will still do business. :-/
There is nothing “free market” about a forced minimum wage.
There are lots of arguments to be made for an increased minimum wage, at least try to be smart when making them.
The group said the costs “simply cannot be absorbed by the business model.”
They can do business, just not be as profitable if they can’t pay slave wages. The problem here is in the quote… they don’t want to change the model where the franchisee’s earn a little less and their crews can actually afford rent.
Why the heck should the franchisee be footing the bill? Make corporate McDonald’s pay for it. Surely they’ve made enough money off ice cream machines by now to afford it…
Oh honey, no. The free market only applies when it works in their favor.
“We’ll make less money. We’re job creators. We can’t create more jobs but hording the money if you don’t let us have the money!”
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.
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
Franchises are owned by smaller companies or individuals. You’re referring to corporate McDonald’s.
Not to say it will “devastate them”, but I thought I’d point out the difference none the less.

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
It’s an honest mistake. I’ve done worse without coffee. No worries friend 😁🍻

They can just run the kitchens themselves to save a few bucks
if we have to pay a living wage fast food will die
Then die.
Then die.
