McDonald's president who made $7.4 million last year says proposal to pay fast-food workers $22 an hour is 'costly and job-destroying'

McDonald does. The subject of this thread.


I mean for railroading or earth moving equipment, which is what I really want to do.

People shouldn't have to work two jobs just so others can continue to have a cheap burger.
/---/ There is a limit to how much people will pay for a fast food burger served in a paper bag. For about $18, I can go to a nearby bistro for a well-made, quality burger, hand-cut fries, and toppings. Coffee refills are usually free, or I can get water for free, soda, or a beer for more $$. Plus I sit at a table and will be served.

I can get all the free refills I want at Wendy's.

Twenty five years ago I was earning $50 an hour plus incentive bonuses.
/---/ Good for you. I don't begrudge others' success even if I disagree with their politics.

Does somebody do your grocery shopping for you or something? You don't understand there are different grades and qualities of meat?

I have zero evidence that wendy's burgers meat is different from five guys.
Unless you can present such evidence the delta falls to perceived value and that 20% delta in wages accounts for that.

So Subway and Wendy's get at least an honorable mention. (Most of the places on the list I've never heard about or ever saw). If I eat fast food most of the time it's one of these two.

Well then, you answered your own question, didn't you?

Holy hell, $22 an hour?? I'm making that right now slaving away at 12 hour factory shifts loading trucks... What's to stop me from moving to a burger flipper job and leaving the manufacturing scene then?

I'm not familiar with Five Guys. About a year ago a friend of mine stopped over and I believe what he brought for dinner was from them, but I can't be sure.

In any case thanks to the labor shortage, there are huge price differences in the quality of beef and pork. A few months ago I wanted to make sloppy joe's. I bought the cheap stuff. I could barely chew the shit. But it was a couple of bucks cheaper than the good stuff. Never again.

A blind person can taste the quality difference between McDonald's and Wendy's. It's simply better quality of beef.
