Sauna for a king

"the restaurants expected to use better ingredients but they also have to pay their employees proper wages."

So, you're saying it's pretty much better in almost every way possible?

@Apep727
In Finland, McDonalds is one of the best employers according to yearly study, it's been on top 5 list for 5 years in row ('though it didn't get on top 5 in 2018)
On said study, McDonalds workers say that they value their collegues, working atmosphere, possibility of developement, customer service and supporting superiors.

Study is done by Great Place To Work institute of Finland

@Arakjin I'm not so sure if those institutes are to be trusted (from my experience, a "great place to work" means that it won't be that shitty of an experience, but not that it will be an amazing one...), but it still is amazing that a place like McDonald could make it into the top 5, because making it something else than a shitty experience seems hard already (well, from what I can tell from McDo's in France anyway...)

@Apep727 Well it will be more expensive of course but then again we don't need to eat hamburgers everyday.

@Rogers don't we though ? :p

"A Burger King in Finland has a sauna in it because of course it does."

Let me rephrase that for you:

"A sauna in Finland has a Burger King in it because of course it does."

You're welcome.

@ImportViking

Moe !!

Sauna is same thing to finnish people, as cardboard boxes are to cats. If it fits, we builds a sauna.

@ImportViking Pff where can't you build a sauna. You give me a couple of tarps, some planks, nails and a banged up stove I'll build you one, anywhere.

@thergonomic Well thanks for the invitation! We're currently refurbishing our bath a bit, so if it's convenient...

@ImportViking The ventilation might be a problem indoors... But if you don't mind your whole appartment smelling of smoke it is fine, I think.

Sweden didn't even need to look at Finland to know what he asked for.

Finland, Finland, Finland, the country where I quite want to be...

@ImportViking Ah, the good ol' contractual obligational album. Always a classic.

@AxiomaticRanger The worst part is probably that those lyrics often pop up in my head when I see Finland appear in this comic. And rightfully so, Finland actually is a nice place to be. XD

a friend of mine used to work at mcdonalds and hated it. she and i watched a documentary about fast food workers in denmark and all the differences between here and there. she wanted to move to denmark after that...

Fun fact: The meat in Wendy's chili is actually the hamburgers that have dried out and while edible, aren't suitable to serve to a customer-that doesn't stop some from making it out to the front counter,though-, and set aside in a metal bin in a heated drawer,and when said bin is full, it's covered in water and microwaved for ten minutes, then chopped. The quality of said chopper varies thanks to the work ethic of whoever is tasked with the chili meat, and can result in either whole patties ending up in the batch or finely minced meat that looks indistinguishable from ground beef,though it's usually somewhere in the middle. The meat also stores for up to a week in the walk in.

Sweden apparently can tell what Finland wants without even looking? Is that how he understands Finland when no one else does, he has some sort of mind-sensing thing?

....i must go to this burger king

I never noticed much difference between US and Norwegian Burger Kings, except for using slightly different batter on their onion rings (I could be wrong, but it sure LOOKED like most of the Norwegian ones actually had a few whole kernels of corn attached.) You're absolutely right that it's MUCH more expensive there than in the US, but what ISN'T (answer: Gasoline.) But the flip side is I earned a higher wage as an entry level temporary worker in Norway than most of the managers I've worked under in the US, and don't have to meet a four-figure deductible before my insurance actually starts working.

@JOL We now own you. Prepare to be taken care of the rest of your life and being angry at single deaths (still to much) instead of hundreds in the hospitals, because of mismanagement.

@dwarfie24 Ah, but we are back Stateside now, at least for the next few years. Healthcare was easily my wifes biggest concern about moving over here though and, surprise, surprise, firsthand experience with US health insurance has only reinforced her fears. Not so much for us, but we have a five-year-old, and both of us really miss not having to worry about how we can take care of her when she gets sick.

@JOL Dayumm. Almost so we have to send our spec ops to fetch you ;).

@dwarfie24 The Greedy Old Party warned us you commie Scandinavians would send commandos to force high quality universal healthcare and university educations on us at the cost of taxes we already pay. If we waste all our money on needless luxuries like those, how the HELL will we afford Blue Angel flyovers at the Super Bowl?! You people need to get your priorities straight... .

@JOL Omg my small country minded mind tottaly didnt see that. Because you know small countries are places where logic doesnt work and everything is fairytail like, so not applicable to otehr countries.

I know. Finland actually has a motherfucking Burger king restaurant with a sauna. It's in Helsinki. There is also a big TV in the sauna, so you can watch hockey. And after sauna, you can continue watching the game from an even bigger tv. Or play with PS4. If yoy pay extra, you can keep the Burger King towel/bathrobe.

@The_Groke Now, I never visit nations to go to fast food, BUT you make an excellent case my good fellow...

@LuxVertas
Doesn't he just?
I've never thought seriously about spending a whole Sunday afternoon in a Burger King before!

@Hinoron Bet that's something you never expected to type
