Yes and when they only paid 5.25 an hour in the 90s it was also hard to live off of, cause every wage is not supposed to be a "living wage". That notion is just berniebro utopian horseshit. I've worked fast food service jobs and grocerie store jobs, at no point did I expect to "live" off of that. However it did allow me to save enough money over time to attend a state school, which is dirt cheap.

If you expect mcdonalds to pay a living wage then, yes, you need to consider living in "bumfuck nowhere" instead of manhatten. This is called life.
