I’m really quite sure that nobody is working mcdonalds for minimum wage. Who would take that job? These stats are online and easy to see, fast food is hiring much closer to 18/hr than 8.
This makes sense. A ceo endorses this policy when it hurts his company less and others companies more.

I literally worked a few months at McDonald’s two years ago at $8/hr.

This is wild to me; I kinda want to ask if you volunteered or were obligated under some program. But it is plausible, apparently there are a handful of states where this happened relatively recently.
It remains rare. But my superlatives went too far. Editing it down.

I was living in a small town in Oklahoma, my car broke down, and it was only McDonald’s or Walmart I could reasonably walk to and McD’s called me back first. Not a work program or anything, that’s legit what they paid all the regular crew members.
