That shows how much you know about it. lol. You are looking at the franchiser, not the local stores (82% of which are owned by franchisees.) The McDonalds that trades on the stock market doesn't pay the wages of it's workers at 82% of all of the stores that exist in the world. In the US, the percentage is even higher since McDonalds tends to own many of its stores in other countries. McDonalds has a stated goal of not owning more than 5% of the stores worldwide. The franchiser has much better margins than the franchisee. So, when you say they can afford to pay, you are talking about private small businessmen paying these wages, not the public company that trades as a member of the Dow Jones. And, where a McDonalds franchise used to make very good money for its franchisees 40 years ago, competition has now put many of them into losing or barely profitable positions. Every item on a value menu, for example is a money losing sale.
