Congrats on your 4 hashbrown minimum wage 🫡

Well clearly the ones without a draconian minimum wage would have a better economy? Right?

…AND they’re limp and greasy AF. Almost like they don’t let them drip dry anymore and let the bag and car seat do the soaking up.

Been going to Rotten Ronnie’s for 40 years. Haven’t been since 2022.

I recently bought one and was baffled by the price. They are about 1.5 times the size of the original. That doesn't make up for the absurd price and I don't see myself buying another one.

The grocery store near me sells a frozen 20 pack of these for like $8. Also I can get sizeable breakfast tacos from a local spot for $3 each. Corporate America is the problem, you should never visit corporate chain stores if you don't have to.

Even then it'd be highway robbery

I've had slider burgers from a yuppie foodtruck with truffle aioli and "microgreens" for 3.30 a pop lol

That's a half brown per hour!

Still tons of jobs in my area that pay federal min wage for anyone who applies.

So so many people don’t live in big cities or rich states. Low cost of living areas are a trap that you’ll never save enough to get out of, if you were born into one to poor parents.

Yeah but they aren't even that good. Like, yeah, they're good, but they just make me wish I had latkes.

Fuck I could go for some latkes.

Actually about 28$/lb, or about 32$ hashbrown price per 1$ potato cost

56g is 0.12345 pounds.

0.87/3.49*0.12345=0.03077 (assuming it's only potatoes.. this is the ratio between potato cost and McD hashbrown price).

We invert it to flip the ratio: 0.03077^-1= 32.5.

32.5$ for every 1$ of potatoes.

Don’t forget Hayden, Braden, Jayden, Caiden, Aiden, and Caseadeē.

If you don’t order the whole meal and you don’t use their bullshit app, they’ll absolutely rake you over the coals. Part of the reason I don’t get McDonald’s anymore.

Measuring minimum wage in calories is some dystopian shit.

The majority of employees are not high school kids, you're mindlessly repeating McD propaganda.

A minimum wage job was supposed to keep a family of four over the poverty line with one worker, according to the 1938 labor law.

We abandoned that with a long decline in wages since the 1970s.

We used to be able to support the "hash brown based economy" on far higher wages for most (adjusted for inflation and purchasing power). We still can... back in the day, a CEO would make 50x what a front-line worker would make, now 500x or even more, and there's an entire executive and stockholder class making a fortune.

Figure it out.

p.s. I had to pay rent and bills and buy food as a high school kid, but fuck me right.

Just bring home some of your hashbrowns to your family and landlord and to pay for services. Duh.

This is what the wealthy elite have brainwashed you into believing. Yes, if you work full time, you should be able to afford to live full time.

The fact that so many of you can't recognize plain, screaming sarcasm shows just how illiterate many of you have become.

Sure. Go on, what's the minimum wage in centimeters?

That's 24 hash browns after your normal shift. You can slurp up some of the radiator leakage from any nearby machines.

That's basically all of your major macros.
