Define "living wage" and the cost of living is not the same everywhere. No I would not imagine that Mickey pays great wages, but if their employees qualify for food stamps that sucks. No idea what their food costs as we never eat there.

Consider that wages have gone backward over the last ten years, at least for the non 1%ers.
