Openly advertise your poverty wages

Why would it cost less? Thats why I said $2-4 million. McDonalds are independently owned franchise. To franchise the name you need to pay McDonalds around $1 million (rather Mississippi or California). The land and construction in Mississippi you are still looking at near $1 million.

these are your starting costs, before you pay anyone or buy inventory.

For a McDonald's franchise, u don't buy the land. U actually lease the land from McDonald's. That's the lick. Furthermore, u cannot buy your own land cuz McDonald's dictates exactly where u can put a restaurant. And it's ALWAYS in a place where the corporation already owns the land, which forces u to become a tenant. This is essentially passive income for McDonald's.

This is explained in the movie The founder where Michael Keaton plays Ray Kroc.

I know people that own McDonalds, this isnt true maybe back then but not now the owner owns the land but does pay a yearly fee for the franchise name still. Maybe thats also an option. When working out deals this large its hardly just black and white. No different then when you see some McDonalds that say we are not honoring current promos/deals you might see in commercials

That’s good money for a high schooler. Y’all grown ass bums don’t want it, my son will take it when he’s old enough

I’ll never understand why minimum wage being aligned with the rate of inflation is such a divisive. Do people not understand that pretty much all salaries have stalled since 2008 despite inflation? People keep saying that xyz is “too much” for flipping burgers but seem to ignore that damn near everyone is underpaid in comparison to yesteryear.

I earn very good money and if I was on this salary in 2008, I’d be sniffing cocaine off women’s backs every week. But in 2021, it’s just a comfortable existence for living in London.

Nobody but this new generation see McDonald's as a real job

Why should anyone who's making $12 an hour be in a position to live by themselves?

Because that was the explicit purpose of the original minimum wage law.

“In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

“By business I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.” - FDR

An adult working at McDonald's today can't even pay their way through school to GET a better job and in the vast majority of cities they don't even earn enough to be in a position to live with a roommate. Somebody working fulltime somewhere and they STILL can't make ends meet? That doesn't seem wild to you?

Especially when just 30ish years ago the minimum wage was enough that adults could work at McDonald's (or Pizza Hut, Circuit City, etc) and graduate college with zero debt. And if we go further back, that income was enough to support a small family. But you mean to tell me wanting just a fraction of that level of financial freedom in 2021 is asking for too much?

Y'all can say these are jobs only meant for teenagers all you want, but tell me...who do you think is supposed to be serving up hash browns at 6AM on a Tuesday? If "burger flipping" was just some lowly ass kiddie shyt, all your beloved fast food spots would only be open from the hours of 2PM - 10PM Monday to Friday.

You soulless, temporarily embarrassed millionaires are something else boy I tell you...

$12 an hour for zero responsibility/accountability is pretty dam good.

 

[Tres Leches]

$12 /hr is relative depends on the city some cities cheaper than others

 

[Toine]

These big ass corporations can afford to pay way more. Why take their sides?

Cause a lot of these nikkas think they're one Forex trade away from being in the same league as Jeff Bezos. They're hating from outside the club with the hopes of soon being in the VIP. It's a mental illness at this point.

 

[Pure Water]

We know what’s coming. And it will cost less than it cost to employ a human for a year.

The faster the better. It will force the governments hand to do something about it.

The land to build / own a McDonalds in Denmark is also fraction of the cost of it is in America as well though. To open a McDonalds in California you are looking at around $2-4 million minimum beginning investment. You need to make that back eventually.

But I know the coli financial advisors dont take total costs into account when just looking at twitter graphs

McDonald’s is the biggest real estate in the America, the can subsidize the rent if all their employees and still make money

 

[Starman]

12 bucks an hour isn't the insult in real life that it seems to be on the coli.

 

[JNew]

McDonald’s can pay what ever the fukk they please. For a high school job that ain’t bad.
