Better yet, add McDonald to companies whom you'll never do business with again, and tell your friends why.
Can you think of a better reason then you have to tell them to do the right thing instead of robbing their already lowest paid workers? Spend your money someplace where workers, who are working To SERVE YOU, are treated as you'd want to be treated. The Corporations vote with their dollars, you must also. I have a long list of business I DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH, for the simple reason that I shouldn't have to be on my toes to see if they are treating their workers humanly, or where they get their products if that is sound practices for a sustainable planet, or if I have to watch the contents of their products to see if my health, requires Health insurance after purchasing and ingesting their products. I also have a nice list of places I DO BUSINESS WITH, because they are community minded, both labor and banking is invested back in the community. A friend, who is a practicing Christina, instead of in name only, and is unfortunately a partyline Democrat, just doesn't get that his 20 years with Wells Fargo, has never stopped them from being one of the largest criminal money laundering enterprises on the planet, much less that they push for legislation he as a party line Democrat is against. He hasn't gotten it, his money habits speak much louder then his words. Sad is the day, that even at my income level, a single dollar of purchase power of mine is more noticeable then a years worth of activism to the Corporate Government, but that's what it is like when one lives under fascism, and supports it with your purchasing habits.
