McDonald’s Tips Tax Dodge Leaves Workers Holding Empty Fry Baskets
In an ironic twist that would make even a golden arch bend over with laughter, McDonald’s workers have been left out in the cold by the newly passed 'Big Beautiful Bill'—which removes taxes on tips. Announced in 2025 but gearing up for future fun, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski pointed out the 'uneven playing field' where other restaurants dodge paying wages by making customers cover workers’ pay via tips. Meanwhile, Mickey D’s staff, swelling no richer from this tax break, watch customers tip the scale more than their wallets. So much for lovin’ it when the Big Beautiful Bill ignores your fries.

Nothing screams progress like a law cutting tip taxes everywhere except at the golden arches. McDonald’s workers can keep practicing that art of adding extra ketchup because paycheck boosts? Nope, electronica.
If tax breaks on tips were fries, McDonald’s staff would get a paper straw instead—crumpled, useless, and totally ignored.
McDonald’s CEO complains about uneven wages while employees watch tip tax cuts sneak past them like a quiet drive-thru shift.
