Assuming you live long enough to become an old person.

And if you don't, the money goes to your spouse or your kids. What's wrong with that?

And what investment vehicles do you use?

Approx. 25% into 401a, Roth 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA for me.

None of those mean anything about his ability to run a country.

Oh absolutely. He's an idiot.

Before the internet: When someone wanted to fuck a banana, they did it at the privacy of their own home or eventually grew out of it. After the internet: That someone now finds a whole community of people that want to fuck bananas, has a self-help community built around this problem, and thinks its completely normal.

Having a celebrity manbaby for a president is a pretty big downside as well

That celebrity manbaby has:
A) had more sex with supermodels whereas you won't even see one in real life,
B) made more money than you will ever make,
C) been elected president of the United States, and
D) the love and undying loyalty of millions.

Wondering the same thing. Are there car washes open at 3 in the morning?

PA has lots of self-clean/automatic car washes. PA rarely has full-service car washes, which sort of pisses me off.

My parents' house is 8 hours away, and we'll be over there for five days. Should I bring my cats? Or should I just leave them in my house?

They have an automatic feeder, water fountain, and a self-cleaning litterbox, so they should be fine.

Why/why not?

On rare occasions (3-5x a year), we will let them in and cuddle all night, but we generally do not let them in our bedroom, as they disturb our sleep.

You can literally go to a bank and ask for $2 bills.

And what are you basing the number of staff on?

34,283 employees come from Wiki:

I believe he's just trying to say that as a result of your OP stats Burger King will try to recoup some of that money by cutting hours and saving money on employee benefits.

oh

YMIHere posted...

It doesn't strike you as odd that you now have a higher bill than when all workers were doing 126 hour work weeks?

That number is crazy. And I think that only applies to one employee getting that much more money, because 6,570 hours/year only accounts for the location to be open with one employee... I feel like I'm doing something wrong again, like you pointed out.

YMIHere posted...

Except that you multiplied your BK hours needed by the total number of BK employees. You made all the workers have 126 hour work weeks.

That's absolutely true. Thanks for catching that error. D'oh...

Let's do location based instead:

6,570 hours/year/location * 15,000 locations = 98,550,000 hours/year

If each extra hour costs an extra $5.876/hr, that is:
$579,079,800,000 more a year.

Wait shit... wtf

YMIHere posted...

Hmm, suddenly 5.87 an hour translates to a $38k salary.

$5.876 BK has to pay extra per employee over a year = $38,605.32.

YMIHere posted...

I didn't even realize BK workers had 126 hour work weeks.

It's not one employee that works 126 hours. It doesn't matter who works that many hours, but rather the hours are worked.

Do I have to take off my belt?

Enlighten me, then.

REMercsChamp posted...

Dude you have no idea what the fuck you're even talking about

You're comparing apples to oranges here. The OP attempts to calculate the hourly pay BK has to pay out more; it does not attempt to calculate the benefits paid (if more or less), nor does it calculate the other effects this may have (like turnover rates that post #9 mentioned).

Unless GlassDoor hourly rates include benefits, the math attempted in the OP does not care for full time vs. part time hours.

REMercsChamp posted...

They'll put people 1 hour below the minimum number of hours required to be a full time employee so they don't have to give them benefits. Then they'll outsource the whole outfit to India where they pay the people peanuts. Standard procedure.

The hourly rates calculated in post #1 does not include benefits paid.

Unless you mean cutting the hours that the restaurants are open for, it won't change the math in the OP.

REMercsChamp posted...

They're going to answer this by cutting hours, raising prices, and laying people off and replacing them with machines

Cutting hours doesn't matter to these numbers, because these numbers don't include the cost of benefits you get for being full time employees.

Average salary of a cashier, crew/team, and shift/assistant manager, from 865 reported salaries on Glassdoor: $9.124/hr/employee

Salary difference = $15 - $9.124 = $5.876/hr/employee

Average BK is open from 6am to 12am. It is assumed that the BK is staffed during this entire time. Thus:
18 hours/day = 6,570 hours/year

Salary difference in a year = $38,605.32/year/employee

Number of employees: 34,283 (FY 2015 RBI)

Therefore BK has to pay out:
$1,323,506,185.56 more a year.

That's literally his gimmick... With 47,485,584 total views, at $8/1,000 views, he got approximately $380,000 over the past 7 years or so.

Need more money

Example:
Someone onboard is having a medical emergency and the flight is diverted to the nearest airport. This surely costs a lot of money, from the landing fees paid to the airport, to the medical staff that they need ready at the ground, not to mention the hundreds of passengers on-board that needed to get to their destinations (and potentially missed flights).

Who pays for all those delays? Would it be charged to that person experiencing the medical emergency? Or does the airline eat the cost?

Reserved seating is a godsend, Im baffled that people dislike it.

People dislike it because it forces you to buy a ticket in advance, either online (with convenience fees tacked on), or at the theater.

Why are you blaming AMC for this? It's MoviePass that pulled support without any warning to its own users.

You should source where you got this information as well, so that it's appropriately scaled (e.g. FICO based on TransUnion, VantageScore, etc.).

Well?

The main differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing.

Sea salt is produced through evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes, usually with little processing. Depending on the water source, this leaves behind certain trace minerals and elements. The minerals add flavor and color to sea salt, which also comes in a variety of coarseness levels.

Table salt is typically mined from underground salt deposits. Table salt is more heavily processed to eliminate minerals and usually contains an additive to prevent clumping. Most table salt also has added iodine, an essential nutrient that helps maintain a healthy thyroid.

Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value, despite the fact that sea salt is often promoted as being healthier. Sea salt and table salt contain comparable amounts of sodium by weight.

why should I care more about this than how inhumanely animals are slaughtered in the west
who cares as long as the food tastes good

Animals slaughtered for food are born to be slaughtered and population control is mandated. Japan does not birth more whales to slaughter them, but rather hunt wild whales.

Should Indians start attacking cattle farms and beef eaters?

What does this have to do with anything? If Japan starts a program to encourage whales to birth more whales, and control whale hunting, it won't be a problem at all.

i'm honestly surprised it didn't dip as low as the 8,000s

I don't think a 30% drop is considered a correction...

wtf

A one year certificate of deposit of $25,000 or more yields 1.85% from Ally Bank.

In what scenario would you put money in a CD, vs. leaving it in a savings account with "comparable" interest (1.35% at Ally), or putting it in a low-risk government bonds (like the mutual fund VFIIX, which has an average annual return of 7.24%)?

only that manhattan location? I mostly go to AMC theaters and live in NYC and was thinking of getting it..

Don't know. MoviePass isn't very transparent about this.

Deadline reports that the service is no longer supporting ticket purchases at theaters like the AMC Empire 25 in New York, Universal City Walk near Los Angeles, and the AMC Loews Boston Common.

As of today, youll find a small handful of theaters are no longer available on our platform, MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe said in a statement. Our number one goal as a company is to provide an accessible price-point for people to enjoy films the way theyre meant to be seen: on the big screen. Many exhibitors have been receptive to this mission, and were excited to keep working with theater chains that are closely aligned with our customer service values. The statement goes on to clarify that the list of participating theaters is subject to change, and MoviePass customers should consult the mobile app for updates to that list.

Whats interesting about todays development is that MoviePass reportedly didnt notify AMC or its own customers ahead of time. In fact, AMCs own support account on Twitter wrote earlier today that MoviePass still has not contacted the chain about the development.

What kind of self-absorbed piece of shit would do such a thing?

This is literally why we cannot have nice things. Now people are going to question if the animal is really a service animal or not, and maybe even have tightened rules, making it harder for real people with disabilities to get one.

Dealer says they need to replace the harmonic balancer and the belt. The timing cover is not needed to be changed; he showed me, and it has some scratches on it, but it's not enough to justify a change. They said to change it when I change my timing belt in 15k miles. They quoted $351 for the work.

In addition, the fuel tank is leaking. They said Hyundai has an extended repair period for this safety bulletin work, so it'll be a free fix. And because these items will take 2-4 days, they'll provide a loaner car.

Wow... Dealer turned out to be "more honest" and cheaper than the mechanic I went to.

Yea look up Ally Bank.

This is literally a plot point in a movie (A Beautiful Mind).

This depends on your interest rate, and what you plan on doing with your savings.

I don't know nearly enough about Hyundais to say one way or the other. If the timing cover is only damaged cosmetically you can probably skip that, though I'd still consider the timing belt. 15k is a little over a year of driving for a lot of people, so you can either put it off or get it knocked out now.

Yea, we drive this car less than 5k a year (in the past two years), so it'll be a while before we have to get that done.

My guess is the dealer will either charge more or there will be a salesman conveniently visiting his friends at the service desk and he'll overhear your conversation and try to sell you a new car.

Oh absolutely, the dealer will charge more. But I want to know if the problem they "find" is the same.
