Mc Donald's doesn't fucking matter. Payday lending matters, credit cards matter, home and car loans matter. Making cheap plentiful food for the masses is a noble sacrifice

McDs are the biggest restaurant in the world and employ the most people. So raising wages effects them the most.

"McDonald’s Profit Rises, but Year-Over-Year Sales Fall"(article in NYtimes)

McDs makes 7 bill in profit. That is after costs are taken out.(definition of profit)

With all that profit they have investing power, with which to stimulate the economy(provide money to specific sectors)

This could be a metaphor for America.

hey that is informative. So mcdonald’s won't be supersizing paychecks any time soon then.
i'm gonna get shot down here but i have to ask. doesn’t a lot of the fault lie with the consumers? i mean it is people buying their products that provides the wages. i’m assuming that the average micky-d’s customer doesn’t care what gmo’s and additives they put into their bodies and would be pissed off if the dollar menu went bye-bye and a $2 menu was installed.
i know it is immensely more complicated than with things like 1. subsidies. 2. subsides. 3. subsidies...must be the free market (lolz) etc but at the end of the day it just seems like most people want their cheap, shitty food.


no, because marketing works. that's a pretty cool sense of revulsion toward the working class you have there, tho

it's better for them to get PT employees. they are less likely to organize because you move their shifts around each other, you save on health insurance and also the government subsidizes them with food stamps so they don't die so fast

yeah, they basically want managers to hire a lot of people and not give them any hours, i think technically it's not even considered part time if you don't go over 30 or hours a week, not sure if that's a law or a company thing

we had to hire a bunch of seasonal help at one job because they wouldn't let the existing cashiers go over their usual ~20 hours, we had to hire so many that some of them only worked like 4 shifts. i never even met one lady we hired and i'm full time



do you still have to make student loan payments lol
