    And at 140 calories a piece your 8 hour shift gets you 16, about 2,240 calories. So like, just barely enough to live.

    I know other McD’s food is better at calorie/$ but still.

      I mean potatoes were a pretty staple food item for the poor so if you are getting paid only enough for your basic calorie needs of prepared potatoes from one of the largest food providers in the world that’s still saying a lot about how low minimum wage is.

      It’s some really poignant math still.

      Just get yourself 2 fulltime McDogshit jobs, work 16 hours and sleep the remaining 8, you’ll have enough to eat and you won’t have any expenses since you don’t have time to do literally anything!

      Now keep doing that for around 300 years and you miight have enough hashbrowns saved up to make a deposit on a house!

        So I’m not sure what your math is for this but I made me intrigued to just check something.

        So assuming a person literally did this. Got 2 back-to-back positions at a minimum wage paying McDs. Put the first paycheck into paying just for hasbrowns for calories, put the second entirely into the cost of a house bank account right now and do nothing but sleep the last 8 hours. And don’t move on days off to avoid requiring calories.

        Ready for this?

        You would have enough saved up to buy a house in 29 years.

        At the average house cost of course which is now $418,000. Up 36% since 2020.

        Holy shit.
