Are there any good reasons WHY McDonalds workers shouldn't be earning $15 to $20 an hour? - Page 8 - GoFuckYourself.com

McDonald's was one of the few companies to see profits go up during the recession.

You think people will really get that upset, if you are honest about it?

No, elite liberals with plenty of money in their pocket won't be upset by that at all.

A working mom with 4 kids who wants to treat them to McDonalds once a week? Fuck yes...she's not only going to be "upset" about it, she's not going to be able to afford to do it anymore.

Easy for people with money to talk about raising prices (and taxes) on everything. But most folks who eat at McDonalds regularly are college kids, young people, and others who are trying to make ends meet.

Would they be "upset" at pulling into McDonalds and ordering over-priced food from a goddamned unskilled laborer making $15 an hour?
Yes, they would.

When people suggest McDonalds should have a third window to give back all the wrong shit they gave you at the second window - tell me again why they should make $15-20/hr.

They should change their menu slogan "Smiles are free" to "Apologies for fucking up your order are free."

Remember that Huffington Post article that said the cost of a big mac would go up 68 cents?

HP PULLED the article and in replace of it released this one entitled "Errors In McDonald's Wage Analysis"
huffingtonpost DOT com/2013/07/29/mcdonalds-salaries_n_3672006.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

"The institute estimates that small-business owners who run McDonald's franchises spend about a third of their income on wages, which would mean the price of a Big Mac would go up by $1.28 to $5.27."

Case closed!

"Prior to publication, HuffPost asked Morelix if his analysis included franchises and he said it did. He later conceded it did not." What a scumbag! Trying to push an agenda with lies.
