I used to work at top graded Mackers (Mcdonald's reviews their stores and grades them) with a really awesome store manager and some great (took their jobs and quality very seriously) managers. The experience was great and really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the pay was just above minimum wage and the long term prospects were terrible.

I can totally see how these guys/gals would be loyal and sticky if taken care of. Hard work you can leave at the door is very satisfying if you don't feel like you're going nowhere...

Incidentally the 3x average sounds almost spot on; I believe our store manager was making about 70k and he was highly valued as a store "fixer" by the chain owner in the Dallas area.

The McD's near me is paying new hires $11/hr. But Chick-fil-A is paying $13/hr, so they have a waiting list to work there.

A nice reminder about the difference in meanings when the owner says "value" and when the employee says "value"

I don't understand what criticism you're trying to level here. Would you please expand?

I'm guessing that the sentiment here is that the employee getting paid 70K at McD is adding much more value than 70K + other costs, especially if they're single-highhandedly responsible for saving entire locations.
