I worked for about two years in a Mc Donald's in germany and it's a pretty tough job. You get to work on all stations and have to absolutely master them, because clients at McD are REALLY impatient. What, it takes 1 Minute till I get my cheeseburger? Screw that, give me my money back! I'm not kidding. You have to be lightning fast! For a full 8 hours. Every. single. day.
Most people can't handle that kind of stress, that's why we just had like 5 people on a regurlar basis, while there were always some other people coming and going.But on the other hand, I indeed got nearly 13 € an hour, which should be about if not more than 15 $. I saw the books and I can tell you that McD can easily afford those kind of wages. Especially for the good workers, they absolutely should. Even with 30 $ an hour, they would still be making profit.
If people go to work, they should absolutely be able to live from their earnings. And I don't mean simple surviving, but a decent live with some luxury. Like gaming consoles, you know? If people are working 8 hours per day and don't have enough money, something is seriously wrong. So I'm absolutely pro for 15 $ per hour for Mc Donald's workers.
