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.

Oh darn. Anyway
ratskrad@lemmy.world 1 year ago
… to the franchisees 🙄 To everyone else though, we’ll get a livable wage.
And let’s be honest, this devastating financial blow they speak of probably just means 1 less yacht for them.

It will be ever so devastating for their employees to actually be able to afford a meal at their own restaurant.
Whatever will they do with all of these new customers that are also their own employees.

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

Poor-poor tiny McDonald’s.

Oh boo hoo, cry me a fucking river you fat, greasy suits. You’ve been taking advantage of workers since inception. You can absolutely afford to pay your workers $20/hr, you just won’t have as much profit. So what? You’ll still make ridiculous money. America is disgusting. I’m just disgusted with all the inequality. People are battling every day just to survive, and these corporate fucks are crying while wiping their tears with $100 bills and the shirts off the backs of their employees. Fuck off.

Their business can’t just absorb this cost. That’s not how businesses work. What they can do is raise prices a few cents each and pay the cost.
Franchisees are empowered to set their own pricing, so this is a non-issue.

Yeah heaven forbid the owner take home a little less profit.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I can almost guarantee a lot of locations wouldn’t even need to do that. The owner would just have to not take a bonus. God forbid that though.

Please donate a tissue to these fat suits so they can keep crying while the workers get a fair wage

They’re doing just fine in Australia where the minimum wage is higher than that

Good.

Ok.
Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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
eek2121@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They already pay $20/hour in my area. I am not in Cali.
Miqo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They advertise like $11 / hour where I live for managers.
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

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 shambles, surely.

There go the petty bougies complaining again as if we give a shit.
roofuskit@kbin.social 1 year ago
Every time they have made this complaint I'm the past, it has been a lie.
Snapz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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”

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

I think people know, but it’s going to be like they treat landlords. Ideologically opposed.
GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If they think McDonald’s are the one paying employees then they don’t know shit.

I call bullshit in Australian minimum wage, because they’ve been doing just fine paying more than that here, for quite a while.
