> The difference between McDonald's midrange line and, say, a burger at a restaurant for $18 is negligible in flavor.

This may be the single worst analogy I've ever seen.

There is no amount of money you can pay at McDonalds to get a good quality burger.

I don't spend $18 for burgers, since there are a million places where you can pay $5-8 dollars and get a damned good piece of beef. But not at McDonalds.

You haven't been to McDonald's in a while it seems.

$5-8? At a food truck? The ones that make burgers of an extremely varied quality?

If the employees are doing it right, it’s not “that bad” of a burger. So, just pay the employees enough to actually care about the burger and it comes out decent.

I’ve eaten at McDonald’s around the world, it really depends but they do have good burgers when they’re cooked right.

It's not the employees. In different countries the entire recipe and production system is different. In many non-US countries, McDonald's is a more upscale "foreign" restaurant and far more expensive than in the US.

It's not an employee thing, the source material is junk. The best employee in the world can't turn mediocre frozen patties into a good burger.
