“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?”
