I really think most of it is price gouging at this point. Like, how much does it really cost to make a fucking McChicken at industrial scale? I'd wager 1.50 at most, probably less?

The wage increases are not helping much. I haven't seen young people working at McDonald's or any fast food in YEARS now, and why would they? You can mow lawns, outside, in peace, and clock 15 USD/hour easily and make just enough to get pocket money for the stuff teenagers buy. Back when wage was 7.25 and the work wasn't complete shit, that was acceptable. Now you have managers who are complete cunts with a metric focused workflow that punish for the smallest slight, and turnover is abysmal.

Manufacturing is still short 3,000,000 workers. There are production facilities that haven't returned to full capacity because they can't, and this compounds upon itself. When a factory that made parts for a line at another factory cannot produce the same number of parts, that factory that it produced for cannot produce as much either. Now multiply that dozens of times over.

I'm not memeing or being hyperbolic when I say it'll be 20 or 30 years to get back to where we were in 2019.

So why aren't they hiring? I know 30 people that applied to a local manufacturer, and the only person they replied to was a very tanned italian guy who didn't fill out the race section on his application.

Progressives never stop. It's kind of part of the whole concept. They got away with Civil Rights in the 60's (yuk!) so they applied it to fags and trannies, because it's not supposed to stop. What we are seeing here is actually just an extension of the war on Big Tobacco, which like the mainstreaming the darkies is something that progressives think they won.

The Covid shit is just an excuse for them to do yet another thing that they already had planned but needed a crisis that would "change everything" for a "new normal". If it wasn't a flu it would be climate change or something else. They want to fuck our yummy food the way they fucked cigarettes, essentially.
>skyrocket the price YOU ARE HERE

You don't have to be a "schizo" posting the actual truth to refute you. The official copes about "inflation" and "supply chain" prove you wrong. The fact is they hate fast food because it makes blacks and other poor people less healthy at a disproportionate rate. They stroke out from cheeseburgers way sooner, so on top of it being a vice it's also going to be deemed racist to eat fast food.

idk about whatever third world country you other people may be from but in the USA McDonald's are franchised and if they happened to be owned by two different people, the prices can vary.

I lasted two and a half months and was second in seniority when I left besides the managers. Now I have a job where I drive around in a white pickup truck and measure water levels for the county. Only makes $34.73 an hour which doesn't go very far with current prices but it has great bennies.

Thats when the man from behind in the kitchen came out too and said “Hol up, I gotta get this.” He shook my hand and said “Is your name Michael or Dwight?” “No.” I answered. “Well then y’all gotta pick one” he replied “Cause now on Imma call you either one Michael or Dwight, your choice.” I picked Dwight.
