Didn’t fast food prices increase something like 30% though? At least in my area I remember mcchickens being way cheaper a few years ago
McDonalds and a lot of the other big chains have went up drastically nationwide. It has nothing to do with the CA wage hike.
Sure, but I think the point is that raising minimum wage didn’t cause that. Inflation (read: corporate greed) really harmed grocery, food, etc. prices, especially during the pandemic. It truly became a game of how much can we raise these prices until people consider not paying for it
The game is still afoot as far as I can see.
I mean, that’s always the game in sales.
