  Individual stores don’t make much, it’s just that there’s a shitload of them (7,877) funneling franchise and advertising fees to the top.

  The Taco Bell franchise cost can be significant, between $575,600 – $3,370,100.

  an average Taco Bell owner can make an average of $80,000 – $90,000 a year

  That ain’t jack. I made $83K at my last job sitting on my ass WFH.

  Take ALL the CEO’s pay, $3,784,756, smear that out across every employee (175,000), they’d get a lousy $22 Christmas bonus. CEO pay ain’t the problem, it’s just a convenient and visible target.

    No, their rampant greed and constant funneling is part of the problem absolutely and completely. Besides, this specific person is hardly a prime example of a grossly overpaid CEO when many are taking home much more than 3 mil. They’re still responsible for the structure that funnels all that money upwards.
