There's a meme being debated right now that says McDonald's workers in Denmark make $22 U.S. per hour plus they have 6 weeks of vacation.

Is this accurate? U.S. McDonald's workers make much less than this.

Can you work at a fast food place like McDonald's and have a decent standard of living?

Yes. But the McDonald’s in Denmark charge like $13.65 for a medium menu. That doesn’t include ketchup for your fries; that will set you back an additional $1.30 for 3 tiny sachets.

Sell two of those and you have an hour’s wages plus change right there.

They make a littel more like $26 U.S. per hour.

Tax and liveing expenses are high i dk. Tax is around 40 %. Rent in cph and bigger citys is beyond crazy. One bedroom 1500-2000 dollars. Public transportation is $3,5 for the shortest trip. Coffee at Starbucks is like $8-9.

A McD job can give you a tiny home in the subburbs, some food and maybe money for a bike. But no. You can not live well on a McD sallery in dk. I would not call it decent living but its normal that young people live on that level.

The average pay in dk is 45.000 danish crones ($7500) per mounth, before tax.

Worked there from 16 years old until I was about 20 years old part time during school mostly, at Nørreport.

It was one of the few that were not franchise restaurants, but owned by McDonald's DK.

I can attest. Working conditions are best of the best for a part time job, and a solid option for full time, with decent career opportunities if you wish to persue that.

Still the most solid worker rights, and it shines above every other job I have had since in terms of that, even though I'm in a very high paying career and industry now. Bullet proof, and everybody is on board, all the way to the top.

I once burned my hand on one of the toasters at a shift. Got 4 months full pay, almost equivalent to full time pay, even though I was part time, while my hand recovered, without me even asking.

Also pay for working odd hours and holidays were awesome, at 18 working a quiet 10 hour night shift on a national holiday, double hourly pay, but also double night shift addition, compounded to more than 70 usd pr. Hour at that time (if I recall correctly)

At 18 I felt like I was a boss making bank :p
