Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun... oh, and a side of data... to go

Simon is asking for your help. In the past, various surveys have been done based on the number of hours a McDonalds employee must work to be able to buy a Big Mac. Now it's time for an update.

We need three things:
1. Your location (city and country).
2. The price of a Big Mac at your local McDonalds.
3. The hourly wage (in local currency) of a worker at that McDonalds.

This is serious by the way. If you get a chance, grab a Mac and ask the cashier what they make. Then send the data to:

simon[at]simonworld[dot]mu[dot]nu

And help spread the word. They'll be publishing the results soon.

This requires them getting ONE FREAKING ORDER RIGHT and me not wanting to reach out and kill them. Sorry, I had a drive-thru experience from HELL today. :)

Numbers, people, numbers. That's all that matters.
