Translation: "We have decided that when given the choice between paying our workers a living wage and paying our executives lavishly, we pick the latter and think you are too dumb to notice"
That might be true, but people have to stop working there as employee demand dictates pay rates. Everyone saw this during the pandemic. Short supply of workers lead to an immediate raise in pay.
You also have to remember McDonald's is a franchise business and the owner might not be taking in millions, as McDonald's has been known to mistreat franchisees from lower income neighborhoods.

I mean I understand, but honestly I think if they can't survive in the area they should just close shop. If it was too much of a bother corporate would subsidize but, this would also allow for more local alternatives to potentially appear. We don't have a mcdonalds for a solid 40 mins from where I live, or any corporate/franchise chain, and the ma/pa food places are a nice change compared to going into more populated towns
Understood, but the point I'm trying to make is that these franchisees are small businesses. They can't access the billion dollar capital that McDonald's corporate has.
You have to treat franchisees as small businesses, because besides the name, they pretty much are.
