I use to work for somebody who did the accounting for several hundred McD’s, mostly in Southern California. These restaurants generally generated about $300K-$450K in real income for the owner. Some did better, some did worse. Most operators own multiple restaurants and are hands off. In other words.. it’s basically an annuity for them. In case you didn’t know… not just anybody can buy a McD’s. You had to get “in” buy buying years ago, inheriting or knowing the right person.
One operator owned numerous restaurants, lived in an oceanfront home in a very wealthy Orange County community, and constantly complained that Big Macs should cost $15 because she wasn’t making enough money. Oh, did I mention she had never even been in one of her restaurants? Or that she was officially a Florida resident - despite having not even visited there in years - and through the magic of shareholder payroll, paid virtually no CA income tax? Poor her!!!
Giving a raise to the people actually making her money would barely make a dent in her lifestyle, yet they are the ones guilty for raising the price of your hashbrown!
There is a point when it is more advantageous to the owner to close his or her business and invest the money than it is too run the business…
For every job there is a pay scale, paying outside of that scale is bad…. To little pay and you only get the people who don’t want to work, put much and you go broke…..
It doesn’t matter what the owner could pay, (s)he could just as easily terminate the employee and hire someone willing to work for what the pay scale pays…
If you want someone working at McDonald’s earning 20 plus dollars per hour plan on paying 20 plus dollars for a Big Mac meal.
Think I’m wrong ?
Look at the American auto industry!
It is drowning under the weight of its unions.
You want to make real money, get an education, in a viable field, learn a trade, or do both and invent things….
There is a reason “you want fries with that” is the punchline of many jokes
But I promise you the whole “I need a raise and you can afford it” crap, should be a one way ticket to the unemployment line.
That’s whats wrong with this country people put their un calloused hands outs….rather then getting them dirty or using there brain
i thought it might increase due to a rash of lawsuits in our region wherein property owners had massive fire losses that were attributable to neighboring private property owners being neglegent.
