Don't think I`d even take a leak in a Mickey D`s again. I always imagined they took dump truck loads of garbage, ground it up really good and then represented it as food with color and flavor additives. Its more than likely completely untrue and made up but the thought keeps me away. So much better quality food can be made at home.
Some businesses do go under and we should let them die with a bit of dignity rather than bail them out.

Can't do what I do and be an unskilled worker.
Unless you know aircraft mechanics making ten an hour.

Could someone explain this to me:
In the USA, servers get paid what? About 5$ per hour? And the rest comes from tips, right?
So the food is cheap and the tips should be high.
Now, at McD the servers get no tips, obviously. Now how much do they earn? 5$/hr, too?
Because that would be a meanie, in my eyes. Working day in, day out - having to hear "you are a server, you earn by tips!", when all you get is your measly McD-earnings.

Nope, not at all.
I spent years working these jobs until I grew a pair and started busting my ass to get better skills.
Just saying.

The trade off is industry wide price rise - leading to more inflation !
You would need a wheel barrow full of folding to buy a big mac in the end !
The big mac is the global equaliser and indicator of economies - globally ! Lol !
It is the financial canary in the mine ( well - not really - but hey ! ).
Big repercussions ..
Dude, by the logic used to bitch about the price of a Big Mac under a wage hike, you are probably one of the reasons why flying costs so much.
If you ask me it takes a big pair for any self respecting worker to put his shoes on everyday and go to work for 10$ an hour.

Awesome so the strikes in North America are taking a toll, good for them. Now they need to pay a livable wage and use that as a advertisement campaign and there sales will boom.
In China they need to use meat suppliers that don't use rotten meat and they need to stop using floor seasoning in front of video cameras.
The power of the people are speaking and they are on the side of the workers!! VIVA Unions!!!
