McDonalds 2013

I eat at the same McDonalds every Thursday Morning.  I usually eat off the $1.00 menu. Sausage burrito and a small diet coke.  Once and a while I have an order of hotcakes.

This McDonalds is a franchise.  The staff is almost the same every week.  All adults a little bit younger than me.  It's almost fast food most of the time.  Sometimes the line is a little bit long, but I usually enjoy the break and during the summer it's a welcome stop.

Thursday, management was taking orders everywhere, drive in and at the counter.  The store was short staffed and I can only guess a couple of people called in sick of working for less than $8.00.

I'm sure that raising the minimum wage in Florida would be a cause for fewer people to work for the minimum.  I'm sure I own McDonald's stock as part of a mutual fund or two.  I'm sure that I would still eat fast food if the minimum wage went up.  But I might eat more peanut butter and toast as well.

I hope the farm bill keeps the price of milk reasonable.  I like food being cheap.  That's just the way it is and I like cheap gas also and I hope people are able to find jobs.  I work for a newspaper and they are surviving but it is a struggle.
