Reply to comment by maugust09 in [OC] Number of companies in Apple supply chain per country. Source is Apple's own published supply chain document. Note the absence of the DRC. by Free_Albatross3928

McDonald's actually pays $10 minimum as a company policy. And locally their crap burgers cost $6-8. And they get emoloyee discounts (50٪ off or free meal). Just pointing that out.

Source: husband was a shift manager until recently

Edit: added discount info

Totally fair! I just think people tend to glorify the American work force and don't really understand how most of that labor is treated.

I've worked in the food service industry for just over 15 years from washing dishes to managing the grocery department of a $1mil/week store and it's pretty shitty all around despite doing pretty well for myself.

Just my experience/opinion!

Agreed, I'm just a little sensitive about minimum wage discussion specifically involving McDonald's as a base. Mostly because it's usually erroneous and most federal minimum wage discussion does not include local cost of living.
