The currency crash doesn't need to impact them. They can just raise prices. If your theory were correct, McDonald's wouldn't still be paying their employees, but they are. It's very clearly a moral, or at least reputational, choice.
- watwut 5y agoThey can't stop paying them from one day to the other. If they want to keep it legal, they need to continue paying for some legally mandated period.
- postsantum 5y agoJust curious, how come McD is still open in Saudi Arabia, the country that routinely commits war crimes in Yemen and setting new records in mass beheading (yesterday's number was 81). Seems that "reputation" thing is more sophisticated than previously thought
- darawk 5y agoBecause there isn't the same kind of social pressure for them not to be. Pretty straightforward.
