They always say this, it never happens because the min wage when it was originally implemented would be 35 dollars now. It didn’t happen then, it won’t happen now.
These prices have nothing to do with their actual cost. The “inflation” is them raising prices arbitrarily to flirt with the line of when poor people will finally revolt. They are just flying closer to the Sun by choice today, these aren’t in reaction to any real world choice or condition that the business needs to make to “survive”
BS. They said the same thing about $15, then COVID forced it on them (and presumably also raised their own costs for supplies), and it’s been fine. I think my McDs charges 1.25 for a soda now instead of a dollar.
