1.) In my opinion, I think that if McDonald's raised their prices on the dollar menu people will still go there because it really is fast food, kid friendly, menu variety, and economical. As long as they aren't raise to high, they will be fine.
2.) So many people do not attend college or have an education, so they are stuck working in fast food with minium wages. If they raise the pay to a "living wage" everything else in the world will raise ridiculously since everyone would be considered to "afford it." It would defeat the entire purpose. I do not think they should get paid a "living wage" becasue if they are truly working hard and can not make ends meet they could get government assistance. Or, they could choose to better their lives and their families lives and get more training or an education to make more money. Leave the fast food jobs to kids in college or highschool just trying to get some expierence, or trying to buy a car.
