re: #258 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

There have been articles in Forbes (maybe elsewhere, too) predicting franchisees will close their doors rather than deal with paying employees $15/hour. AFAIK, no McD’s franchise has closed. The upfront investment to get a franchise is too much to just piss it away because you have to pay your workers more.

Frankly if they do decide to close, that’s more on the owner than the employees demanding the better wage anyhow. I don’t get people think it’s a good idea to treat the people who handle our food like garbage just for wanting a better wage.
