Satire? Or the “Rise of the Machines?”
Much of the cost will be made up in higher food prices
Of course! And how much more will SEIU collect in union dues? I’d love to know the salaries of the SEIU union thugs.
I added the satire keyword as the article linked clearly states it is written in satire.
“Much of the cost will be made up in higher food prices...”
They hope.
I will be going there less often.
The cost of eating at McDonalds is already skyrocketing. I don’t see this being a very bright move at this time. Good luck to them. They’re going to need lots of it. Unionized burger flippers and fries guys isn’t going to fly with a lot of Americans. Especially when the union is SEIU.
Get ready for the $8.00 Whopper
Higher prices, lower quality...introducing the new(progressive)America.
Semmens again.
Now he’s using an alias but I’m on to him.
I stopped eating there long ago. I got tired of cardboard buns and French fries, something that is supposed to pass for ‘meat’ and a whole host of other things.
I fear however that this will be a great discrimination against the minority community who will suffer under the added costs for their daily subsistence. My guess is that McDonalds will now be allowed to process EBT cards and the like to compensate. Or, maybe just go for the Gusto and have it subsidized by Obama’s Stash.
Well, doesn’t bother me. Don’t eat there. Don’t like their food. The old quarter pounder used to be a good sandwich, but when it went down to the size of a morning egg macmuffin, and still called it a QP, I quit buying it. That was years and years ago. I rarely ever stop at burger shops any more. Small sandwich for higher and higher prices. Here in Alabama we have a hamburger place called Jack’s Hamburgers. All around the state and Mississippi I think. Jacks does a good morning breakfast meal, complete meal. But I have not been to Mikkie D’s, Burger Queen, etc. in years. Jacks, maybe Wendys, but not Mickies.
Satire.
Read the “story”. Satire and silly satire at that.
If this was not satire an agreement to $15 would automatically make the unions come back and demand 20.
I knew it.
McDonalds has a long, long track record of surrendering to the prevailing populist (liberal) winds. This comes as no surprise to me.
With the crap food that McDonalds sells and with the higher prices that will now be required, I strongly suggest selling your McDonalds stock.
Satire, or not, I don’t worry about it...haven’t been to mcdonalds’s for over 5 years, no plans to go there in the future.
This article is almost two months old. Confused as to why you’d post an article that old and not, at least, put that it’s satire in the first comment space.
SEIU is a gangster, shakedown outfit whose former Capa di Tutti Capi, Anna Burger, is a cultural radical. Perhaps McDonald’s took this move after dealing with the Yakuza in Japan. If they become family unfriendly like “Orange & white stencil hardware” or “red & white bullseye” discounter whom we already boycott, we’ll stop going there.
I have been predicting for some time that Walmart would eventually agree to accept unionization as the price to stay on the good side of gubbermint and maintain their quasi-monopoly.
I could foresee McDonalds doing the same. Especially if it would call off Moochelle and her Food Police.
Please include “satire” or “humor” in headline. Otherwise, you are the kid ringing a doorbell and running away.
Satire- SEIU spokesman “seymour pecunia”.
