“Good morning! “If a $3/hr raise nets $2–3B more profit in 3 years — why don’t more chains do it voluntarily?”
NOVEMBER 18TH 2025:
NATIONAL VICHYSSOISE DAY- NATIONAL PRINCESS DAY
BIRTHDAYS:
MICKEY MOUSE - Today commemorates the debut of a lovable mouse that was once a rabbit called Oswald. His character got his start on film on November 18, 1928, but before that, the story begins in 1927, when Walt Disney first sketched a floppy-eared bunny while under contract to Universal Studios. The events that unraveled brought us Mickey Mouse.
Megyn Kelly (1970-Still Living) - Journalist and host of The Megan Kelly Show
THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
1928 - Steamboat Willie is released as the first sound cartoon.
1985 - Calvin and Hobbes is published for the first time in 10 newspapers
THE DUNKING COOKIE PARADOX
**TODAY’S TOPIC: $3 RAISE = $2B PROFIT?**
“Raise pay $3/hr?
Turnover drops 30%, sales jump 2%, theft falls 25%—
net +$2–$3 billion profit in 3 years. Costco-style math works.”
*McKinsey 2024, NBER 2025*
PANEL QUESTIONS
1. “If a $3/hr raise nets $2–$3B more profit in 3 years — why don’t more chains do it voluntarily?”
2. “Would you accept $1.80 more per $100 basket if it meant workers earned a living wage?”
