And, of course, there's a terrible Nash Equilibrium about being a dick to your McWorkers; it's way too easy to justify being a dick to them by citing all the rest of the McEmployers in your field being dicks to their McWorkers, and claim that they'll outcompete your firm on cost if you ever step out of line and treat your workers well. Whether the evidence backs that claim up is unclear: Costco is the famous example of the firm that's already pulled it off, and there were fascinating numbers coming out of the Fight For 15 campaign, about what would be required to pay literal McWorkers $15/hour.
