A McDonald's worker makes about 18,000 SEK a month.
That's $2769 before taxes.
And plenty of people pays for their big mac & co, every day.
In Norway the salaries and costs of big macs are probably even higher.
So, who said it can't be done?
(I got this information, from posts, on a Swedish forum.)
Raise prices. Raise salaries. End of discussion?

Different country. Different laws. Different culture. Different tax rates. Different benefits. Different everything.
Raise prices - see declines in sales.
Raise salaries - see increase in overhead.
Business model no longer works.
McDonalds has been losing money for a long time and only in recent quarters began to improve earnings. Now they do... what? Radically upset customers and turn their business model upside down?
