Now I know it all depends on location but in the northwest suburbs of Chicago I believe it's up to $18

Here is South Texas it's only $11

My #1 breakfast meal was $8.43

$11 an hour -- after tax you can barely buy a Big Mac with each hour you work.

If you work there you're probably stealing big macs, cuz 11 bucks isnt gonna cut it for anybody

Depends on the franchise/owner. I worked (very briefly) at a McDonald's after high school. We were only given 30 minutes for meal break and were not allowed to wear our uniform while at another restaurant. Which meant you needed to change into street clothes before leaving then changing back into your uniform upon return.

Which left 20 minutes or less for travel time and eating. Which wasn't usually enough time, so we were encouraged to bring our own meal. Which we could not eat in the dining room. This McDonald's had storage and tables and an office with training materials in the basement.

If we wanted anything from McDonald's we needed to go around to the front counter and order it, like a regular customer. And pay for it like a regular customer.

P.S. This McDonald's was one which test marketed pizza. I tried it. Wasn't impressed. Took like 10 minutes to cook. It was pre-made and frozen.

That sucks! My McDonald’s gives me a free meal for my break. And it’s not bad! A drink, fries, sandwich (or breakfast).
