Experts have also warned that fast food prices could climb even higher as minimum wage hikes are implemented across the country. California’s $20-an-hour minimum wage for fast food workers goes into effect in April.

McDonald’s and Chipotle both announced that they would be hiking the prices of menu items at Golden State locations beginning this year.

So the poors are eating less McDonalds but everybody else is eating more? I’m fine with that. Les’s diabetes treatments that I’ll have to pay for to help the poors.

Yeah, you moron. No one argued it wouldn't. I can see $120/hr median household incomes raising prices for a big mac meal to $18. Do you agree with your idiot con friend who claimed raising the minimum wage to $15/hr would create $13 Happy Meals?

Minimum wage in Connecticut is already $15.69/hour moron. $18 meals are here and going higher.

A $15.69 minimum wage does NOT cause $18 Big Mac meals. You idiot.

In a business with nickel/dime margins, that is incredibly sensitive to costs increases, both in food and lower cost labor...yes it does. This is just one story that blew your assertion ($15min wage not impacting prices) out of the water. More to come as min wage goes higher, prices increase and more min wage layoffs expand.

I have never asserted that raising the minimum wage wouldn't raise prices. Every time you say that is just another time you can't refrain from lying like the idiot you are. That story showed no such thing, you moron. If a $16/hour minimum wage causes $18 Big Mac meals in Darien, Conn, how does L.A. Calif manage to sell them for $11 with a $15.50 minimum wage.

You would prefer covid economic conditions if you could just have your orange jesus as president. He lost 3 million jobs net in 4 years. Truth hurts. orange jesus owns it.

I haven't seen you complain about paying the cost of health care, housing, food, education, room and board for illegal foreign nationals, but you're bitching about helping American citizens....That's, you know, rich.

You and your orange jesus are hoping for a recession before the election. bravo

We dont need to hope for a recession. The upcoming tax increases and other increased regulations proposed by Mush Administration virtually insures it.

Labor and cost of goods are the two major cost drivers for this type of low skilled business. Fact.
Sales volume is the most likely "influencer" of prices charged.
