The only person that will not feel the pinch of the rising cost of hamburgers is the Hamburglar
The prices of fast food were rising way before wages
I had Wendyâs yesterday for the first time in a couple years, something is off with their food, nothing tasted like I remembered and I almost immediately felt like garbage
Hope their frosties haven't changed.
Bro Wendy's has been brutal for years. Nothing like the 90s legecy
I stopped going years ago when they became inedible. I would get sick less than 30 minutes after eating. The prices are irrelevant when the food is disgusting.
I was done decades ago, too.
The price increases were bad enough, but the greatest insult is lowering the food quality in addition to those increases. I've stopped eating a lot of things I used to eat after they changed the recipe over the past 4 years. And I don't just mean fast food. What's really absurd about these fast food joints is the relative increase in cost of their food compared to their "restaurant" counterparts. They want to charge me $17 for a fast food combo? For a similar price I can get food at a restaurant that is of a vastly superior quality. I know someone who works for Pepsi and they've basically tripled what they charge retailers for a pallet of product in the last few years. ~7 pallets used to be like 6-7k and now it's 15k. He says that at one of the retailers, Pepsi charges them $2.65 for a 2L bottle. Think about that. This retailer HAS to sell this product at a loss, otherwise no one will buy it. Imagine "cheap" sodapop becoming a "loss leader" These corporations are pricing themselves out of the market.
I was in a McDonalds Saturday for breakfast and to let my granddaughter play at their play yard which she loves to do. This one has the kiosk machines that they want you to order from. I don't like them but that's part of big corporate world's plan to slowly phase out labor cost and push one towards a cashless society. Its not a necessary evil but it is an evil that we can't seem to stop. Anyway... a middle aged man was ahead of me and stood at the counter waiting for an employee to wait on him and they pretty much ignored the heck out of him until he asked for help. The employee asked if he had ordered and he said no that's why I flagged you down. She told him that he must order from the kiosk. The man threw his hands up and said, "oh my God.....I'm out of here." I think that allot of Americans, especially middle age and older won't put up with these kiosk or the high prices. So it isn't surprising to me that business is in decline. It should be when you charge more, give less and force people to interact with a machine and discourage the use of cash.
I order curbside at sit down restaurants because curbside is cheaper than fast food and tastes better
Something that I have noticed is the age of employees working in fast food is much older than it used to be. Used to be16-24 year old workers. Now they are 30-45 year old workers.
Such jobs are near zero skill level. They are not career type jobs. Those were perfect jobs for students while they took classes.
I have asked some that work in such places, why do you work here. All but one said because the business they worked at closed during COVID and never reopened.
As for the cost of eating there, they have priced their way out of my budget. And I have started cooking every meal that I eat at home.
we don't have many "skilled" jobs anymore, that work all went to India and China. Even then, some of the fast food chains around my new home in FL pay more than some of the professional jobs.
I used to work at Mcdonalds in the 90s and most value meals cost 2.99 plus tax and a hamburger was 59 cents. The cost of food is insane now and most people can no longer afford it. Most are choosing to eat at home, its cheaper and better quality.
The basic hamburger is now $3.
Have you seen the grocery store prices though, where I am 7-8$ a lb of beef buns $5 head of lettuce $2.99 You stop and up paying 6-8$ per burger if you want to add cheese and condiments
@@Pandagurl218 the condiments and cheese still go to other meals, along with the head of lettuce. You are still saving money by shopping at the store vs stopping at a fast food place for crap.
@@Pandagurl218
It's a higher up front cost at the grocery store but it's more food so cheaper because it's 2-3 meals
Those were the days
I haven't been to a McDonald's in 5 yrs, especially since FJB in officeđ€ź
I have not been to McDonald's in 12 years. Food not real, their food not good for the stomach I stayed bloated eating their food.
I find their burgers are nasty. If I get a fast food craving I hit BK 1-2 a year. Their fries are much better too.
I wouldn't eat MC Donald's period.
I've noticed at the Mall of America that there's some businesses that never have customers in them but they stay in business. One day I realized that they are so overpriced that they make a profit with only a few sales. I think McDonalds is going that route. They don't want long lines of people anymore. They want people who only want to spend a few dollars to go elsewhere.
Once McDonalds figures out they can sell a Big Mac for $8, they know they can keep it there. Theyâve proven people are gullible enough to buy it at that price. Itâll take more will power to make hem change.
I haven't bought a big mac since they were $6. And no burgers at all once they hit $2.
They wouldn't do this under Trump.
Exactly. Same thing with workplaces. We once had 5 guys and once COVID hit we got down to 4 and since then we ask hey when are we gonna get another guy to help us out and nothing because they see we get it done with 4 guys. Like that BS they keep the strain on us just because they can.
well they aren't wrong, remember having a Pizza delivered used to be free and then you would tip. Then Gas went up and they added a fee to cover the higher gas price and you still tipped. Then Gas dropped way down(under Trump) and that "fee" never went away. Because people kept getting their Pizza delivered.
Cause people are *LAZY* rather Americans are *LAZY*
I am the GM of a fast food resturant. I won't name it but it is a big one. We were told to raise our prices 3 times since the new year. NONE of that money has gone to the upkeep of the store and NONE of that money has gone to getting more staff so that we can better serve our customers. On a Saturday night I am expected to run qith just myself and two people. Each person is doing the job of 5 people. I take orders answere phones prepair food, ect and then when there is a hiccup and something is wrong we get blamed like it's intention
This is intentional, right now corporations are looking to reduce their biggest cost, which is payroll, the workers. The CEOs and COOs obligations is only to the shareholders. I haven't bought McDonalds in the US for the past five years because, once I made this realization. Once they finally pay staff a reasonable wage the cut their hours down.
Correction, major shareholders. They make up the boards of directors.
I notice this at dunks now. 2 people working the morning shift. Drive through and online orders slam them, then bursts of customers come to the counter.
I eat at home. And because I have been a trad housewife for most of my adult life I am a very good cook and know how to stretch dollars. Omg, someone help the young people who canât put a healthy tasty meal together with less. It is do-able, but with the absence of home economics and all the systems we had coaching us as kids on basic survival (scouting, school programs, and clubs). We need a revival of basic survival skills in our educational system. Gardening, canning and cooking.
You reminded me of my Home Economics class in the 70s. One of the meals required Minute Rice and I had no idea how to cook it because my mom always made ârealâ rice. To this day, I make real rice. Also, there was an issue with an apple pie because all I knew was how to make pie crust from scratch and that wasnât being taught in the class. The class was disappointing.
I'm kind of shocked McDonald's isn't teetering toward bankruptcy. Considering the fact that their burgers are so much worse then the other fast food chains; I don't know how they are staying open.
They invest billions of dollars in research to make their food addictive. It should be illegal, but they also spend billions lobbying our government. Lobbying, by the way, is a euphemism for legalized bribery.
Wont be for long
Before you blame the lower wage employees, keep in mind that the CEO of McD's makes 17.5 million a year. And that's just one person in a room full of executives. And all they do is once a year decide to release the McRib for a couple weeks.
I never understood the high multi-million salaries/perks of CEOs. Truly they could live on less. They donât feel the financial pressures so zero incentive to change.
In and out burger isn't having these problems, their drive through is still flowing out to the street. Mcdonalds has nerve, their food quality is a near step above a 7 -11 hot dog. It's barely food
đ So true!
The prices were already high. They want you to feel sorry for them that they have to pay living wages for the first time ever. Donât feel sorry!!!!! They raised prices on their cardboard food years ago!!!
And it's only going to make another fight for higher wages. At SOME POINT companies have to understand that they can't raise their prices without needing to pay more, and we might actually end the cycle.
They will cut everything and the last thing will be executive pay
They donât pay living wagesâŠpeople beg for 15/hour and what happens. McDonaldâs raises their prices⊠McDonaldâs is a highschool/college job. They didnât need to make 15/hr . Minimum pay for
Minimal skills.
As a business owner I don't think you get how this work. Profit margin in the F&B sector is low.
Raising minimum wages will result in several things
1) smaller businesses that cannot tank the cost will close down.
2) bigger businesses like mine that can tank the inflation, will survive. And we will increase the cost of our goods and services (raising price).
Why? Because food is an essential expense. Regardless of whatever situation people have to eat.
With the close down of smaller businesses where do you think people will go to? Yes, bigger businesses that are still around.
If you are expecting businesses to pay 20$ + for low skilled position without adding value this is not how it works.
I have already reduced my headcount by 50%, and full steam ahead on automation,
with plans to reduce another 30% once automation is up and running.
You stupid people need to move this from other country. You get paid what youâre worth if your job can be learned in an hour you donât deserve to make a livable wage if you bag groceries or you can drop fries and oil you donât deserve a livable wage. Those jobs are for kids and college people trying to make extra spending money. Developer a skill become good at it and youâll get paid. And prices are high because the dollar use weak. Thats what happens when you government goes over budget 47 out of the last 50 yrs!
Remember how Carl's jr used to have the $6 burger trolling fancy restaurant burgers for having a $6 price tag now a bacon cheeseburger is like 9.50
yep I can go to the local burger joint where they fresh ground sirloin and chuck and get a 1/3lb burger with fries for $12, why would I ever eat fast food?
I remember when Carl's Jr had 2 Famous Stars for $3 back in 2009
Groceries are high, but still cheaper eating at home. My HB taste a lot better & cheaper!!
12 years ago I paid $10 for a 12 pack of tacos from Taco Bell. Now it's $22.99. For that price I can go to Chipotle or somewhere like that and get better quality for CHEAPER. Ironic. lol
I don't feel sorry for them they have raked in billions and have paid their employees nothing people have stopped paying for junk when they can get a good meal or simply go to the grocery store and cook
You are a selfish person. Basically you are saying that workers have the right to extort Corporations for higher wages at the cost of the lifestyles of investors, executives and their children. Workers are a dime a dozen. They can be easily replaced & have no human value. Why do you think poor people make up most of the homeless people & people in prison.
âââ@@apollothirteen9236 because rich people engage in crimes but get away with them by paying off the governments.
Why are you even siding with đźcorporations and calling people selfish for wanting to be able to afford a living? You think they care about anyone who supports their businesses? Unless you are giving them millions, they don't
Without workers, the companies are nothing. "No human value", there's no such thing when we are talking about innocents, we are not talking about p3dos nor animal abusers, we are talking about people trying to afford to live.
The only reason most of the rich people have their wealth is because they profit off of poor people and because they exploit others.
No one forced them to eat there or work there
ââ@@apollothirteen9236 You do know that the average middleclass person also invests when they open 401k? Keep the class envy going. All those people from Soviet Union, CCP and Eastern Europe who have told their stories and you still think that class envy in America will be different. No it won't just replace some reasonably competent fat cats will totally incompetent and/or downright evil fat cats.
@@montanausa329 You are selfish. As an employer, it is not my responsibility to pay you a living wage. My job is to make as much money as possible so that one day , your kids can work for my kids.
I havent eaten fast food since 2019. If I do its pizza from a local shop not a chain. It's become ridiculous. They dont clean properly, its greasy, hardly tastes good, makes your stomach hurt, makes you tired, and its expensive?! T.f?
I've noticed that my stomach would hurt after eating certain fast food and stopped going to those places. What are they doing to our food? I want my Soylent Red to be free of pesticides and not GMO. At least there's still Soylent Green.
@@danrivas465 Low grade fast raised hormone cows eating grain and corn to fatten them up instead of vegetation.
Good for you?
First of all, McDonalds is not a fast food joint they are a real estate corporation. Ray Kroc always said we're not a restaurant we are a real estate company
No wonder why every time I ask for a burger, they tell me I'm in the wrong place and that they only buy and sell land.
@IAMGROOT4EVA try to get a franchise without buying land rights from the corporation no land no franchise no food
You are absolutely correct. McDonald's is food for the average person but land for the person getting a franchise
@@IAMGROOT4EVAright lol. Wtf.
The less junk food Americans eat the better their health will be and the lower their health costs will be. Make your own healthy burgers people. It will be cheaper and better for you in the long run. You don't have to use your car to drive to a burger joint, etc. And it will take less time to make your own.
LMAO, in America? This IS a joke, right?
I recently started making my burgers at home. They are so delicious! It reminds me of how we made our burgers at home when I was a kid. I think good meat is the key.
When they discover those trends and movement on your card and phone they will jack the price up and use any marketing excuse . Just wait and see.
Well if your working all fucking day and barely getting by a cheap meal from a fast food restaurant was nice and now itâs crap
Takes less time to make my own? Bruhhhh, i gotta thaw meat for hours prior to even making patties. WTF are talking about.
I noticed recently at my neighborhood McDonaldâs that the lines have in the drive thru have greatly decreased. They used to be backed up into the street at noonâŠ.
I won't be shedding any tears for these greed machines.
I canât remember the last time I ate that crap. Every time Iâve had it in the passed few years, itâs been an overpriced bag of regret.
My husband and I stopped eating McDonalds about 10 years ago. One day, he craved a burger and he drove to McDonalds, ordered a meal, ate the meal in the car and then stashed the empty McDonald's bag in the outside garbage to hide the evidence. Next, he came inside the house and told me exactly what he just did. lol
We quit going to McDonalds at least 5 years ago when the prices went up higher than fast food is worth. In fact, we don't eat out at all anymore. I can cook 4 times the food for the same price. Glad I spent a couple decades as a chef.
The problem is people aren't having babies...hear me out. Jobs where teens would perform the menial labor for pocket money now are staffed by people trying to pay their bills. In my area you can clearly see this on the weekends at McD's. There used to be about fifteen 15 year old's slamming out orders with a couple of older people sprinkled. Now it's middle aged people who are struggling.
This is being played out in many industries.
They made their money, they're just getting greedy
I'm so confused. McDumpsters CEO "we have to raise prices. We're going broke paying higher wages. We have no choice or go out of business." Quarterly report comes out. Surprise! Record profits, again! Stock holders jumping for joy. Let these crappy fast food compost heaps go by way of the dodo.
$15 an hour and McDonaldâs use automated kiosks to replace workers. Texas has a fully automated restaurant. The problem lies with exorbitant CEO pay and investors dividend checks.
I'm a long distance truck driver that stopped Goshen Indiana add a burger place called Culver's and got an amazing high quality me for half of what I would have spent at McDonald's. Look up their menu!
I didn't have time to prep for lunch today so I said, "Ill just go grab a burger". Went to Sizzler and spent 15 bucks on a burger and salad bar. That same $15 at Donalds and I could have gotten the same thing, just worse.
The food is too darn expensive...its ridiculous!
I make 11,200 a year eleven thousand and change let that sink in for everybody here!!!! USA đșđž new jersey đą đ
Toxic food = toxic body = toxic mind.
It made me go back to my roots and how I was raised. Home cooked Louisiana creole meals from scratch. I've already lost weight without trying. Taste better and cheaper.
Went to chilis on Saturday, cost the same as McDonalds⊠The only reason Chilis was more expensive is because of the tip, and Iâm just fine with that! Fast food is done if they donât straighten themselves out.
I'm in Ontario and the prices are even higher on average than the States. The owners of the largest grocery chains took in billions while many people can no longer afford to buy the food they need. McDonalds here is planning to introduce prime costs where you pay even more if you go during peak hours for lunch or supper. Starbucks here also has a TIP function on the payment machine in the drive through so that you cannot pay until you choose a tip option.
Without pay rate structure regulations, never in ever will business owners allow their bottom line or their own pockets to suffer. The minimum wage hike legislation cost will always be passed on to workers and customers.
People you haven't seen nothing yet... People loosing their houses because of rents going up property taxes going up gas going up house insurance going up should I keep going. Get ready it's here and will not get easier.
Yes, probably not until after the election though. Then reality is going to hit.đ
I quit going a long time ago when they told me to pull off to the side and made me wait 40 mins. I wrote a bad review took picture of receipt posted it with review got a call 2 days later and got the manager fired
I spent $60 for 2 breakfast at IHop last week. 1 omelette, 1! eggs Benedict, 1 coffee, 1 iced tea.
I am glad I have hated McDonalds since I was a child. But Wendys is out of control. Their prices have more than doubled and that was before wage increases and all that.
I have not eaten that that place since 2011 when the burgers started making us sick. I'm talking violently, painfully ill. We are over 60 years old, our 20 year old son won't touch it. In fact anything with soy does not touch his lips. He doesn't look like the kids his age that eat that crap.
I make a good living. That said, I am frugal. I can afford to eat out, I just choose not to be the fool. Bought an air fryer, a slow cooker. Now I cook at home. Better quality food, way cheaper price, better regulated.
Yes, a good Air Fryer makes all the difference! Especially since my parents are in their mid 60's and healthy food is very important for their age!
Not only has the prices risen but the items are smaller, for example THE WHOOPER (they can't even use the old larger box anymore) and the amount of french fries is so much less and at a higher price - the large fries are now a medium in quantity. SHRINKFLATION is raging all around, everywhere. Not just McDonald's and Burger King.
There are probably many reasons for higher costs, one i can think of is the loss of livestock like the fire in Texas that killed 18,000 head of cattle and nationwide.
Also chickens have been getting killed intentionally as well as farmers are having a harder time too
$6 20 piece is the only thing keeping me going. I was was a manager when the mcdouble replaced the $1 double cheeseburger. It's gotten insane!
I haven't eaten at a McDonald's for 25 years and counting.
I saw a chart recently about this showing that while all fast food prices increased prices above the rate of inflation, McDonald's was easily the highest increase.
To your "Once prices go up are they ever going to go back down?" comment, unfortunately we're at a point to where that may be a necessary measure. Profits will eventually evaporate if they don't take the time to notice this, and places will start to shutter, and I'm not just talking in the restaurant industry either. I genuinely think that the current situation we're in is going to force us down a new road revolving around "economic sustainability" when it comes to food and other necessities, cause as it stands, the current methods are unsustainable.
Fries taste like damp cardboard when they're not steaming hot
Do you remember when the french fries used to be fried in beef tallow? It wasn't good for you but they sure were tasty. Although I doubt the vegetable oils they use now are much healthier.
Lots of Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, and even some McDonald's are closing. This is a good thing since fast food is bad for our health. Start cooking meals at home. It is healthier and cheaper to buy a pound of ground round hamburger, loaf of bread, bag of potatoes, and a non-seed oil. Also, great commentary at the end of video: If Americans was interest rates and even prices to come down, we must STOP spending money on things that are not a necessity or are overpriced to the point of ridiculousness!
OG i am a chef and I RATHER EAT AT HOME AND COOK HOT YUMMIE MEALS going out to eat is pointless your going to help put money in those CEOS pocket naw
SMALL ma and pa market shops they need it more
I was craving mcd fries a couple of days ago. 1 large fry and 1 medium coke cost $6.68.
fast food is over for me I'm in my 70's and My income has not went up at all. As I'm on a very limited income. I just have to do with out and eat cream of wheat for 3 meals a day. thank god my home is paid for or I would be living under a bridge. I don't own a car as I could not afford gas let alone the insurance or payments. if stuff goes up more I will have to turn off my utility's.
I stopped going to McD's years ago. I have a small local burger place and get a cheeseburger and fries for $6. It's tastier than McD's. I only go there about once a week. I eat all the rest of my meals at home.
Thatâs how come
I cook my own food.
No point going out if the cost is going be more thanâ going shopping and, cleaning your own dishes.
Called stop being lazy.
Ther prices don't affect me at all. I don't go there.
Why we still working with money and debt? Wish we could find a better way. You shouldn't need a piece of paper with a dead guy on it to be valued as a person or an employee. People hoarding it makes it worse for everyone. Soo much unnecessary stress. Credit needs to go away or be reduced. What ever happened to if you can't afford it, you don't need it?
Yeah remember "In the future we won't own anything and like it" RIGHT đ
The food is toxic. I stopped going there when they charged 15.00 for the Grimace meal. I think those meals were testing grounds for charging more.
People need to get paid what they deserve to be paid. Itâs time for wages to rise to the what they are supposed to be based on inflation just like the cost of the products being sold to consumers.
How do these greedy MFâs think the people are going to keep consuming their products.
Either raise our wages or lower your prices back down to what the current wages can afford to pay and that includes all products, services and housing. Everything is out of control because of greed.
My wife and I are in our late seventies and we just pick up orders from fast food twice a month and never order drinks anymore can not afford it anymore đąThanks My Friend By the way Angelina Jordan is singing in London today đđđŁđŻđ
It's all about your profit margins. If you can't hit that margin, you either raise prices or layoff employees. I've seen it all over here in Vegas. It's just going to get worse.
I donât shop at any restaurants including fast food I barely want to buy groceries itâs hard out here
God forbid the ceo take a pay cut
It's got to the point, that I would rather order food from a normal restaurant and go pick it up. You can go anywhere for better food and you probably get more, for the same price.
McDonald's had the Dollar Menu less than 10 years ago.
You laid this out very well ... great video
I would say the majority of Americans are and have been living from paycheck to paycheck. They could never afford to buy a house , unless I'm totally wrong and everyone is rich.
Just bought a house and never eat fast food. I eat fresh chicken and vegetables and sometimes steaks and asparagus. I only have a 2yr college degree
@@PCGGC was you born into money or have rich parents? Because that's the Only way I can see someone actually affording college and a House..
Thank you Sir
Who's gonna pay $25 for a stale cold burger and fries that's half the size it once was?
In the U.K. where Iâm from, our minimum wage is ÂŁ11.44 which is $14.53 USA. I canât afford takeaways because everything is so expensive.
I remember Big Mac combo was 7.01 when I started my first job, I go cross the parking lot to McDonaldâs from king scooper for lunch once to twice a month. That was little over 10 years ago
paying more will only make the problem worse because costs will only climb with it. the Government quite literally has to _burn_ the money they've printed, because Fiat is based on a fixed value. for instance although our currency is not based on gold this will make it easier to explain.
Say we have 100 million gold bullion bars. when you print a single 1$ bill, that 1$ will actually be worth all 100 million gold bullion bars. Now if you print two 1$ bills, each will be worth half of the 100 million bullion bars. you print four 1$ bills, it's now worth 1/4th the bullion bars. if you print 8 it will not be worth 1/8th bullion bars and this will constantly go on, and on, and on.
The only way to fix the problem, is to increase the value of our nation OR burn the money we have printed. there's no real other option, because the value of the $ will *always* be based on the economic value of our nation.
McDonaldâs has forgotten who they are in this conversation.
One item I just saw this week is the price of a steak and egg muffin McD's breakfast sandwich went from 5.58 on the app to $8.29 if you pay cash through the drive through. Yeah, my breakfast days look over. Also stopped Taco B, etc after a couple consecutive price hikes on cheap items I bought(two in less that two months of >20%).
They could be giving it away and I still wouldn't eat there.
used to buy mcdoubles for 1.39. Now they're somewhere over 3.50 in Canada. Why would your tiny budget burger be that expensive.
A month ago it was people who made under 40K, had stopped eating there.
I remember when a double cheeseburger was a dollar. Damn starting to sound like my elders
I remember back in 2009 the Big Mac was $3.50 and they had a special that if you bought one you got one for free!
The minimum wage issue is such a double edge sword. I see both sides of it.
I think a big problem in retail is that they won't give you full time. I have had to work as many as 3 jobs to get 40 working hours a week.
Back when I was broke and struggling getting stuff off the McDonald's dollar menu to feed kids was one of the cheapest options. Now, me and my husband can eat for less from 95% of ANYWHERE else for less and get better food. Hello Arby's, panera, and Jimmy John's...
I was surprised when I ate cheaper at Panera than McDonald's.
They are pricing out the lower and middle class income brackets. I telling ya bro, they gonna sell us bugs to eat. You've seen Snowpiercer the movie. I mean they could start feeding us Soylent Green.
They already give us stuff worse then bugs you ever see what's in the oil they cook their fries in?
@@thatoneguyffs What's in it?
Should we complain to Mayor McCheese? Ask Officer Big Mac to arrest the culprit? Maybe pay the Hamburglar a couple of bucks to grab a few combo meals? We're gonna have to get creative if we want to eat. I can't even find any coupons!
The recession hit last year, the current administration changed the metrics of what defines a recession. Which is why you're seeing everything closing now. You can't lie your way into a good economy.
I live right around the corner from a McDonald's. And I have little urge to go there. Maybe because it's so convenient and when I go there, at most I usually buy the fries. I can't remember the last time I bought a big Mac.
in Ontario the prices have all increased and portions are smaller, especially burger size.
If McDonald's brought back a dollar menu on just simple things like burger and chicken sandwich they would make a tone of ones
So the ranchers producing the beef and chicken are supposed to work for free? How about the workers in the meat packing industry? The drivers transporting the product? The manufacturers making the equipment? How about the local governments drop their sales taxes on food items. Drop property taxes on food producers.
@@stewiesaidthat weed is now legal in Washington where I'm from selling it your self is harder gotta sell more weight for less to make money low money is better then no money. Besides they making record profits. Dudes who have never flipped a patty are collecting yaghts
Just paid $16 for a large double whopper meal at Burger King a couple of days ago never going back.
They have doubled if not triple their price in the last 10 years for the same old azz menu. Of course, low income family's are probably just cooking at home to save money.
Great voice, eloquent too.
They were raising prices before the minimum wage hike.
YEP! ON EVERYTHING
My first job, like a lot of people, was at McDonald's. In '81 and '82 and the big deal then was that you could still get a meal for under a dollar. Hamburger, small fries and a small drink. That was the regular menu price, not a special and it was cheap even then. The hourly wage was $2.90 an hour. How does that compare to 1/3 the current hourly wage?
Remember back when we were told...if we paid fast food workers $15 an hour. It would only add 10 cents to the cost of a BigMac, and we were all horrible people for not doing this.
I have not purchased anything from McDonald's except $1 coffee in over a decade and don't frequent any fast food restaurants unless they have discounted/reduced prices.
McDonald's is not for the lower class anymore. 8 dollars for a tiny burger is luxury food
Don't go to Wendys. The pricing has skyrocketed and the quality is worse than McDonalds.
