Ran through a rough calculation (440,000 employees with 40 hour work weeks) $300,000,000 is enough to give everyone a pay raise of 30 cents per hour.

Call it 60 cents best case scenario since a lot of McDonald's workers are part time.

Inspired by the vice thread:

Some people consider fingernail biting a form of cannibalism.

Inspired by today's holiday:

King wasn’t the only one to die at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968. After he was killed, one of the hotel workers, Lorraine Bailey (who was also the wife of the motel owner and who it was named after), upon seeing King get shot, had a heart attack and later died from this. This was partially why there was such a delay in getting an ambulance as Lorraine was also the switchboard operator and so when Reverend Samuel Kyles attempted to call an ambulance using the phone in the motel room, nobody was at the switchboard to make that happen
