Over 70% of the American diet consists of ultra processed foods. So maybe their judgment  might be looked at a bit skeptically?

Define living wage via a number. 

Easy 1/3 the price of a home.

So if you earned 10,000 a year, and a local house cost 30,000 ..... That's a living wage.

What's he going to say?  We screwed the pooch here.  Who would have figured that people don't want to pay so much money for fast food?

 

Between Bidenflation and some states' push for high minimum wages, they priced themselves out. 

 

I remember the olden days when flipping burgers at McDonalds wasn't a career choice.  It was something you did as a stopgap between real jobs.  Or to work your way through high school or college.  Now, it's what you do when you have a useless degree and a crushing student loan.

 

And eating at McDonalds was a cheap way to fill up in a rush.

 

 

A small bag of fries is currently $2.49.

So where does their income ultimately come from? Do franchise owners pay it  by renting parking spaces?

Why would McDonald's care, as long as they get the rent and franchise fee?

I'd say 90% of what the current medium wage is. Which varies depending on what part of the country someone is working in.

The median price of a house in the USA is $414,500, which is a living wage of $138,166.  I'm sure that will price fast food workers out of the market. And tie wages to internet rates and government NIMBA polices.

Does anyone really care about the opinion of someone who's not sure of the difference between a male and a female?

Not only is your comment utterly irrelevant, but good luck trying to find me commenting on that issue. If the hunt keeps you away from the forum that would be a plus.

The median wage is $61,984.  I'm sure fast food workers are worth $55,785/year.

But homes don't need to cost that much, it's only government regulations and policy pushing that price. It's not as if our countries are full, Oz and the US are practically empty.

 

Modular homes are easily purchased for $10,000 but your government won't give you permission to put it anywhere.

Geez, I thought their business platform was common knowledge ... I guess not 😎

 

I'd explain it to you, but you'd doubt it was true and ask me for a links.   I'm sure you can find it yourself.   Google is your friend.

Actually, when I looked it up the figures I got were for 2022. So for the present I'd say 75% of the average median wage.

You don't even know how franchisers make money!

As you've just admitted.

No it's you who doesn't understand how franchises make money. How do you think franchisees pay for rent and the products that the franchiser sells them? By renting parking spaces?

To me McD's in Thailand is a good place to hang out at 5 AM as some are open 24 hours -- then it's usually just me and the Grab drivers. And you can even get a cheeseburger at that time not just muffins.

Yep, in USA, use to be 28% of income.   Until Clinton & bankers started giving the loans away.   Then sold to 2nd market, then mixed in with funds, till the scam was exposed, and the brokers and bank stock holders got bailed by obama, for getting him elected, along with speaking engagements.  The rest is history, and now multi millionaires.

I'm quite frankly surprised you don't know how basic business stuff works. But I shouldn't be, because the entire political systems you support don't seem to know either.

Enlighten yourself.  Too easy to find, and I can't keep reading your ignorance.  It's embarrassing...

That really should be a baseline for considering someone to be reasonable and intelligent as opposed to a Socialist loon.
