The budget assumes that McDonald's employees will just be stealing everything they eat from work, which is probably it's most realistic aspect.

Yeah the more time I spend looking at that McDonald's budget the more of an insight I get into what the upper crust thinks life is like for the rest of us.

Kyle Hyde posted:The article I posted above about the budget mentions that it's based roughly on two full time jobs at minimum wage, after taxes. That's actually the only realistic part of the whole thing. 1. nobody sane works 80 hours a week 2. what min wage job actually gives someone more than 29 hours per week?

I'm sure the US is a similar situation, but in NZ the only way to earn that kind of money would be to live in a city where "entry level" 3br houses cost $700k+ and that's often with an hour+ commute. More realistically the people living in those houses have $100-150k household income. The other option being to pay $3000/month in rent.

1.8 million / $350k = 5.14 God drat if a real mothafuckin house only cost about five times my yearly income I'd buy one in a heartbeat. But that's an unattainable dream. It's more like 20x for most people lol.

got any sevens posted:1. nobody sane works 80 hours a week I remember when I worked as a valet lead at a big hotel, it was me and 3 other "leads" (+3/hr above minimum) working full time getting medical insurance. My boss said he got repeatedly asked my his GM to just have 7-8 supervisors working 3 shifts a week so they wouldn't have insurance costs for the property/ie us 4 fulltimers. The fact the place was turned around under his watch to a massive successful money maker still making more then before didnt matter. He had to argue and fight every time to keep his regular staff. So if anyone ever thinks a company will look out for and take care of its minimum wage workers you are out of your loving mind.

Other rules really depend on if the McDonalds is privately owned, or is part of a larger conglomerate group. And how chill your manager is. Goddamn gently caress McDonalds.

When I used to work at a local restaurant I always would make myself dinner during downtime. How elaborate it was depended on my shift and which manager was on. If I had to be careful it might just be a salad or chicken fingers, but if I was doing a O-C when the manager did his usual midday disappearance for 2 hours I’d bust out the New York strip.

It costs about a dollar for your average Domino's to produce a large pepperoni pizza, not counting labor. Counting labor it costs maybe 1.50. Menu price of a large one topping is $14.49 lol

$70/day for food for four people seems pretty insane to me but I guess if all of your meals are takeout or delivery and you never cook anything that's probably about on par

One date night/week probably means $100+ just for that one meal. That still means $350-400 on groceries each week which is way too much even for New Zealand where our dollar is worth like half of yours and we have some of the highest food prices in the world. I feed a family of three on like $200/week.

Even at someplace cheap like Fridays, you got a $10 app, 2 plates at $15 each, 2 drinks each at $6, and a 20% tip. That's $80 right there.
