  1. Yeah, you never took MBA courses.

  2. There are also less McDonalds per capita in Denmark and less that are open 24 hours. Thus, the counter is to cut hours. Min. wage determines how much you are paid per hour, not per week.

  3. "if you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage then you shouldn't be in business." If you cannot justify a higher wage than you shouldn't have a job. There, fixed it for you.

  4. Most franchise owners are not rich and work very hard.

  5.  @brentt6714  being a business owner is more difficult than being a worker. A McDonalds worker will work their shift and go home. A business owner is never off the clock. They are constantly working. If something happens at 3 in the morning they have to take the call and handle it. I will always remember it was a Sunday and the deep freezer broke. The owner of the business, during his daughter's birthday, had to come on site to fix it. What did the workers who were not working that day do? Nothing. They did not know about it and nor did they care.

  6.  @brentt6714  if the workers messes up who cleans up the mess? The owner. If a customer gets mad who has to put out the fires? The owner. If there are legal actions against the company who has to deal with it? The owner. Business owners are putting in all the risk and strategy to keep a company going. A worker does not. Especially with so many things automated the worker does basically nothing these days. If owning a business is so easy why don't you do it?

  7. The cost of living in Australia is higher overall compared to the US.

  8.  @salomaogomes7311  no, it is. It is more expensive. Also, the US has more McDonalds per capita. So those higher wages leads to less workers.

  9. Yep, that is why democrats loved the lockdowns.

  10. If you cannot justify earning a higher wage than you are a failure as a worker.

  11.  @pranays  how so?

  12.  @salomaogomes7311  the owner of McDonalds are taking all the risk, not the worker. If the business fails the owner loses on their investment. The worker will just go to another job. If being a business owner is so easy why don't you do it? This is what I find to be so pathetic by leftists. They claim being a business owner is easy but yet they never do it.

  13.  @salomaogomes7311  the risk is the investment. If the business fails they still have to pay off the loan the pulled out to purchase the business. That also harms their credit. Along with that they are doing all of the financial work. What do the workers do? Drop fries in an automated machine that tells them when they are done. Most people do possess good credit and liquidity. But also you have to be intelligent enough to have a good sales pitch to get the loan. How many workers can do that? Also, as for being privilege. I was born in a low income family. I had no desire to be a business owner. However, I earned my PhD and MBA and I now have a job that pays me six figures. It requires work. Instead of begging for government to cater to me, I actually worked.

  14. No, originally the min. wage was pushed by union workers to be a negotiating tool for union workers. It had nothing to do with a single adult need to earn a "normal life " (ironic a leftist will say that after covid). Fact is that you are paid what you produce. Fast food workers produce very little.

  16.  @icecreamassassin3006  no, he is working full time. He has many videos. And what meetings? Fact is that is an example of an owner working. There are videos of him doing it during rush hour. And most franchise owners do not bring in millions.

  17. McDonalds are franchised and thus are small businesses. They work off of small profit margins. As for the whole "afford livable wages", turn that argument around. If you can't justify earning a living wage you don't deserve a job. Also, most franchise workers are there working on the line. When someone calls in sick who do you think fills in when no one else can?

  18.  @kurisu7885  not always. Anymore these days they are allowed to stay home.

  19.  @223Drone  "There are many stories of people working while they're sick simply because they'll get fired if they don't show up for work." Hmmm.....didn't we just have a situation where we were told to stay home for 14 days because of the sniffles? Didn't government just shut down businesses like McDonalds telling people to stay home?

  21. So being a manager or owning is easy. If it is so easy why don't you so it?

  23. Mike is completely wrong here on the min. wage and productivity. Overall productivity is up because of technology where you have what is skilled biased technological change. That meaning workers with high skills saw their productivity shoot way up where low skilled workers' productivity did not. Also, that increased productivity led to many prices dropping where those with low income can afford more.

  24.  @223Drone  the CEO does not pay the workers, the franchise owner does.

  25.  @223Drone  CEOs make a lot of their money off of investors buying shares of their company.

  26.  @melgibson7313  kid, when you finally grow up and enter the real world, you will maybe learn. Or you will be a greedy person who only cares about themselves and not others.

  27.  @melgibson7313  ok kid, if you thinking living in your mother's basement doing remote learning means you know a lot, then whatever makes you feel good.

  28.  @cassady7169  pretty much how the OP thinks.

  29. That is because McDonalds are franchised. So they are small businesses and they do have low profit margins.

  30.  @francd2981  no they aren't. They make around 3 to 5 cents on the dollar. Their profits are small.

  31. Define "live off of". These people are alive. and if they can't justify a higher wage they won't get it as they are a bad worker.

  32.  @manfredkandlbinder3752  do you include roommates? What about living close to work so you can walk there? You don't need a car then. There are several variables involved here. That is why you can't define a "living wage". And as I said, these people are alive. Fact is that the companies cannot afford higher wages. As for "needing" the worker, an owner will always find a way to get the job done.

  33.  @manfredkandlbinder3752  you can't define a living wage. Too many factors. You say a single bedroom. What about a studio? What about roommates? Also, what about other people, like me, who earn a high salary that drives up the cost of rent? I am a single person and I can afford a 2 bedroom apartment easily. As for companies affording it, they can't. Profit margins are thin. Also, you have to look at how many employees a company has. You are asking for higher wages. But how about a company that, instead, hires more employees increasing opportunities? You need to factor that in. Sorry, but if you start working at McDonalds and do not find a way to move up in life, that is on you, not the owner of McDonalds. At some point you, as an individual, has to take action.
    1
  34.  @manfredkandlbinder3752  no, I am well educated. That is why I brought up other variables. For example, you immediately brought up a one bedroom apartment. Why did you leave out a studio apartment? Why did you leave out roommates? Those are other variables to include.

  35. Being fair there is a lot to it. This is where the left continues to fail as they oversimplify things while trying to take on people much smarter than them. Many franchise owners own multiple McDonalds. Say one owns 10 in a city where 6 are 24 hours. What they will do is, instead of raising prices, they will shut down 2 of their McDonalds and make only 4 24 hours. The min. wage is how much you are paid per hour, not per week. Also, a larger company like that has more staying power to overcome such price setting where a smaller one will fold.

  36. that is flawed to say that. To start, what method of inflation? There are several such as CPI. PCE, GDP deflator, etc. Next, not everything inflates. There are many goods and services that have dropped in prices. For example, how much are flip phones worth now? Along with that, many goods improve. Take a car, for example. A car today is more expensive in dollar amount compared to the 70s. But cars today last longer, are safer and get better gas mileage, all that saves money. A wage is a price for someone's labor. There are many jobs out there that are no worth zero. How much is a Blockbuster employee worth? Zero. But according to you not only should they still exist, but should be paid $32/hr. So saying inflation is highly flawed.

  38.  @cassady7169  true. After Trump and covid I have said I will never support the left for a long time, if ever, until they learn a few things and prove that they have. They are full of greed and power. They only care about themselves while claiming they care about others.

  39. Those McDonalds workers add very little value. That is why they are paid so little.
