If everyone is making $16/hr in there the profit motive for the dollar menu goes away. So does the dollar menu.
The better ones are pretty quickly promoted to management positions and eventually find themselves in the corporate side of the company. You read about these McDonalds success stories a lot, and they're really quite common.
Besides, lets say McDonalds fires all their bad employees (I laughed writing that)... where do those people go? I mean once fast-food has dried up there's not much lower you can sink. You could work for the government I guess, but you typically need to know somebody to make that happen and if you had those connections you wouldn't have been working at McDonalds in the first place. So now you've put those people into essentially state care, sentencing all of us to a lifetime of taxes just to subsidize their meaningless lives.
I'm sure the government just takes care of them? Isn't that the way the right views the world?
