Them ants are gettin' a workout, today.
After that 300,000,000 Americans will get a raise in costs eating out.
McDonald’s has a right to give them a raise, and we have the right to discontinue eating there after they are forced to raise their prices to account for it.
What they pay the help is not the reason I have have a bad impression of McD. It’s the crap sandwiches they now serve.
I miss the apple turnovers.. And fries.
Future workers will have a college degree!
Fast food needs to be expensive. It’s horrible that you can feed your family cheaper at McDonalds then from Groceries.
That’s liberal thinking. But eating from proper grocery shopping is way cheaper for a family. It just takes a functional family to realize it, and those are hard to come by these days.
Pay them more and lets watch another American Brand go down and out.

McDonalds does not understand the first thing about staying on top of the market.
Cook everything in animal fat and make that burger greasier than hell. It’s when you left that model which killed you.
I hear there’s a lot of them that aren’t satisfied. Who can afford a new ‘Vette and a $500K house on min wage damn it.
and down the tubes goes McD’s
Charging more for the same crap so we can pay the lazy and reward them for having big mouths
But they are going to have to train the robots that will soon replace them.
McDonald's raises pay for 90,000 workers
The key point in this article: this raise is for company-owned restaurants, which account for about 10% of all McDonald's in the US.
Both business models rely on hiring workers from the lower economic pool of workers willing to work at minimum skills jobs...at minimum wages scales..
That pool of workers have become extremely unproductive, unmotivated, lazy, have a entitlement mentality, rude, obnoxious that is hurting their business model...
Losing sales, customers and repeat business
The solution is pay more to get better workers and more productive workers...whatever cost in additional labor will pay for itself in time...
You can't build your business future relying on illiterate, ill-mannered ghetto rats...
Gosh! I sure hope it’s enough! Perhaps 100k per year for the French fry guy? Will that do it? Or will more be necessary? Whatever it takes. As long as they’re happy. Being stupid is very expensive.
I haven’t been to Macs lately. Seems like the burgers had shrunk to the size of a half-dollar.
I dont know why people are dogging them. I would prefer them raising wages this way than through government mandate. I rarely eat there anymore anyways but this wouldnt keep me away anyways.
Will the pay raise change their crappy attitudes and the crummy food? Enquiring minds want to know.
“improve it’s image with consumers”
Consumers don’t give a crap about how McD’s hires, fires, or pays their employees.
Only one thing will change their image: make actual food that actually tastes like, well, actual food. That and provide a safe, family-friendly environment in their restaurants. Of course, McD’s isn’t interested in the latter, so the former isn’t really necessary.
