In The Tainted Burger, the author writes, "I never stopped selling double cheeseburgers for a dollar and thirty cents. I continued to urge the co-operative to adopt a value platform, pay hourly employees fair wages and move away from the dollar menu to offset the cost of wage increases. No one broke ranks and joined me." http://www.amazon.com/The-Tainted-Burger-McDonalds-Franchise/dp/1499160364/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406755138&sr=8-1&keywords=the+tainted+burger
