canyonwalkerI grabbed a quick lunch at McDonald's yesterday. In addition to there being a lighted sign with this message in the window, the woman who handed me my food gave me one of these cards with it:
I mean, I didn't think I looked like a person who needs a job at McDonald's. I'd shaved before going out and was wearing a clean shirt and nice shoes.
But that money... wow, fast food is paying a lot! ...Or is it?
It turns out $17.10/hr is the new minimum wage in Mountain View, California. (It's the same in neighboring Sunnyvale and only slightly less in other Silicon Valley cities.) McDonald's is loudly advertising that new employees can earn minimum wage... or slightly more!
I wonder if they wonder why they're having trouble hiring good people.
