In a nearby town we have a mom and pop “Burger King” that opened in the 50s. The national chain Burger King tried everything to come to town. Since the name was taken they were unable to open there. No amount of money or lawyers had any effect.🤣 The mom and pop Burger King is much better and still reasonably priced.

I know a KFC grower.
A decade ago they asked him to reduce the live weight from 4.15 lbs to 3.85 lbs.
Paid him the same $$$.

Per chicken or per lb./kg.?

I get paying him the same per weight; since they sell parts (not weight), they get more chickens=more parts, and as they used to say... "parts is parts".

I don't get it if they were paying the same per chicken.

I would love to do fuel but some countries have liters and others gallons.
It just gives you an idea where you sit with those three thing. this is over all average it does not take in a account regional differences with in a country.

$7.50 is US federal minimum wage. States set their own at that standard or higher.
California = $16
Colorado = $14.42
DC = $17.50
Massachusetts = $15
Anyone can search Minimum wage by state to see the others.

The live weight of the bird is in pounds.

He still got paid for the original weight of the bird.

He harvested them 2 weeks early.

Had everything cleaned, and ready to go for the next round.

Basically he had a 2 week paid holiday.

The difference between live weights and dressed weight is 25-33%.
