I would see that price and walk right out the door
People are all in favor of fast food employees making $20 an hour, then complain when the cost of a Big Mac goes up. Companies always pass the buck to the customers people.
A healthy diet can fix all of this
Now they want 30 dollars an hour minimum wage
It's not that companies pass it off to us. They have no choice. Prices are set by supply and demand. Higher wages equals higher demand. Higher demand on the same supply line equals higher prices. That's about as basic economics as you can get. People can't seem to understand this. I've heard people saying that was big corporation propaganda. We live in a very uneducated society.
@SaveManWoman If wages get propped up past supply and demand, prices will rise to offset it. So increasing wages only devalues the money supply since everything else will get more expensive. This is because resources don't magically increase simply by increasing wages. So you'll never reach your goal of a "living wage" because the resources literally don't exist. That's like saying if we got a million an hour we can all live in mansions with 2024 BMW cars. Butlers. We would all have our own private jets. Hundreds of acres of land. Etc. This wouldn't happen because we don't have 350 million mansions and private jets. Boosting everyone's wages to that tomorrow wouldn't magically make them appear.
The cost of the food never went up, they just want an excuse of increase their profits. Stop blaming employees and wake the hell up to the fact that we live in a capitalistic society 😂
High prices is the reason I will never eat at McDonalds anymore.
Should be because it’s unhealthy
@@Walkingstreetswithmatt1989 no
@@johnnyblaze9217no what ? Please explain your thoughts I’m intrigued 🤔
@@BruceWayne-oq2tq McDonalds is more healthy for the real man than liberals eating twigs and leaves.
If you don't like it, go home and make your own burger it will be better anyway.
Stop eating there period. I can by large pizza for $20 last me 3 days.
@@Hey-gt4gs 3 days? Must be vegan pizza.
😂
But you keep eating there and get bigger and bigger and bigger!!!!
Prices are way up at every McDonalds
Because wages are up
Americans are the greediest of the greeedy
In 1986 the minimum wage was like 3.35 big Mac meal was like 2.50 now the minimum wage is 20.00 in 2024 but meals are 18.00 almost the same?
I quit eating fast food burgers when I became an adult
Who cares
Janitor. Nobody owes u happiness so who cares
Thats awesome, its a good health choice.
A lot of people treat their bodies like garbage cans. They are stuck at 14 years old and have no self respect or self control.
Remember when the media espoused the "study" that said $15/hr would only move the price of a burger by .25 cents?
Mc Donald's will soon be closing thousands of restaurants nobody will pay that for a small burger. Just a matter of time when they feel the pinch. For that price you can make a half dozen at home.
"I'm not loving it"
Damn I was joking about this price last month and I see one McDonald's really doing it
Nastiest food ever not even worth 3 dollars
Might as well go inside a restaurant for that price!!
People will start doing that. This will drive up restaurant prices. At that point, we will have balance again.
@@bane3991bye felicia
The McRib is back, and this year its $6 just for the sandwich alone! With no coupons for it this year either!
McDonald's used to be low quality food for a cheap price. Nowadays its still low quality food,...but you've gotta be upper middle class to afford it, lol. 😢🤣
Will I hate to tell u the bad news
Your Mc rid just went up in price
Too 12 dollar's and 15 cent
5% go to joe Biden the big guy
Plus taxes another 7% for are great governor of California
Today I got a Chinese lunch special for $10.99 with a soup, rice and egg roll.
Same combo was $5.99 5 years ago
@@mcsweginlower minumum wages.etc adjusted inflation so easy why ask
Two days ago, I ate at an Applebee's & had a 'served meal', i.e. large salad & a dinner of grilled chicken, mashed
potatoes & a vegetable for $12.50, i.e. (2for$25.) When you can eat at a 'sit-down' restaurant for less than a
McDonald's, something is 'out of whack'!
I noticed that too. It's cheaper or the same cost to have lunch or dinner at higher quality sit down restaurants. So why hasn't so called "inflation" impacted them?
I got my go-to spot that sells me an imitation big Mac meal for a fraction of that price. I stopped going to Jack when their cheapest meal cost me 11 bucks. Sometimes, I make my own burgers at home. Now eating out is a commodity.
I wouldnt eat a bigmac if you gave me 20 dollars.
AMEN
Stop lying
@@AuburnFanSince2010 lmao, everyone must eat crap, good one. F mcshithole.
20 dollars for plastic food😂😂😂
Here in L.A they have an $18 combo too only its a family combo comes with 2 big macs, 2 10 pc chicken nuggets, 2 fries & 2 drinks
MacDonald's made huge profits up 12% in this quarter alone. CEO gets 10 million. Inflation has nothing to do with higher prices...corporate greed does.
Prices are set by supply and demand. Not greed. Of course he will get additional money, inflation rates are through the roof. Profits are up across the board. Americans go further into debt, thus increasing profits even more for these people because they're spending more not saving.
The reason prices aren't determined by greed is because of supply and demand which I will explain to you. Prices need to be in balance. This actually maximizes profits. The producer has X amount of supply. They need to sell off all that supply in order to maximize profits. If they sell for too much money, they sell less supply which drives down profits because their supply isn't being sold to its maximum potential. They'll have excess left over just going to waste. That's the reason mcdonalds meals are 18 dollars and not 100 dollars. It isn't because businesses want to do good by us and charge us cheaper rates, it's because of supply and demand.
@bane3991 You're crazy to not think places like McDonald's doesn't take advantage of inflation for more money.
@AndreasU-ur5cq If they could maximize their revenue by increasing prices they would have done that decades ago when they first opened. They can't increase their prices past the point of supply and demand without it costing them money. Why would a business owner purposely cause themselves to make less money for no reason?
@bane3991 How do you know that they haven't at a snails pace? At this point in society McDonald's controlls its own food source they dont have to buy from other sources for their products. They are literally making full profit off their company. The type of inflation issue that sponed during this administration currently sky rocketed at never seen before. So yes inflation has happened at all sorts of periods of times. Prove that they haven't. It's like saying Kellogs doesn't lie that their pop tarts has real strawberry flavoring when it doesn't it's all fake. Companies lie all the time. If you really think that companies don't take advantage when theirs an opening to make more money. That would be like believing Casino's don't have a wide margin over the players .
@@bane3991The fact that you think they would make less money if they weren't greedy is what gets me. They would indeed and everyone already knows supply and demand, that's basic knowledge. McDonald's has always been greedy since they stop making burgers actually fulfilling due to the fact some people complain it was to much , and diminish their health. That's when they made it smaller, and figure they could get away with it which they have been doing for years. I go to Burger King and see a big difference on consumption for customers.
insane these junk does not even cost them 3 bucks
I eat out for the convenience. But don’t complain about the cost because that’s the price of being too lazy to cook on a particular day. Also food prices are always higher in restaurants than cooking the same thing at home
Smell like bankruptcy Macdonald lol
McDonald's food is nasty anyways.
I'm glad I stopped going to McDonald's so this does not
It's a good thing. People can learn to be smart with their Money. Mom used to buy a pack of burgers, bread, and cheese for less than $20 and we all eat good. Home burgers always taste better. This McDonald's is in the news, but a comb on the Las Vegas strip is over $20 average, Pizza $59 and this is not new.
I play 14.00 for the same meal in Connecticut.
Owner getting rich lol
The girl is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She says that she “thinks” Fairfield county is in Connecticut. Meanwhile, the guy says, “Connecticut McDonald’s” in the first 5 seconds of the video.
& says “Fairfield County” in the first 15 seconds.
$15 WAGES
The prices have always been crazy at the highway stops & they don't take coupons!! This has been the case for the last 30 years that I know of, glad your on top of this story, lol
We need a congressional hearing over why McDonalds is charging so much for a Big Mac combo 😅🍔
Or u could just stay home. And mind your business. Mcdonalds doesnt owe u anything.
Congress is the cause of it
Charge this: 🖕👉
Ever see the ice dispensers? Hope you like black mold that will get you sick if the burgers don’t. 🤢🤮
I can buy a box of Jimmy Dean breakfast busicuts at the market for $12 yet Mc Donalds would charge me over that a mount for a breakfast busicuit combo.
Fools get duped by headlines. This McD franchise is in Connecticut. It's ALWAYS been known as the MOST expensive (about $5+ more) McD store in USA, inside a wealthy neighborhood. Just ONE store, not nationwide McD stores. Connecticut minimum wage increased by 69 cents in 2024. NOT $20/hr like California. Different states and wages. Tweeted post, mistakenly thought all McD stores prices to be similar.
McDonalds should yank their franchise for soiling the brand with their greed.
Imagine paying the same price fer a sit down restaurant meal as u would a big mac meal... U must b out of ur mind! McDonalds now trying to back track n say that this isnt the norm. It sure as hell is where i live n im not even in Cali. Fast food is a luxury that u cant afford n blatantly isnt worth it. Ur better off cooking at home er going to a real restaurant.
Perfect opportunity for US Costumers to finally take back the power and not pay for this until they lower their prices.
Well the lower minumin wage too. U cant have it both ways.
Fat Americans should eat fruits and vegetables anyway.
The franchise owners set all the prices as they seem fit based on the location area personally I think McDonald's food sucks no value for your dollar there at all.
*Burger fries and coke has always been directly proportional to Min Wage! in the late 70's I made $2.30 Hour and a meal was $2.75*
*You should a seen this coming FJB*
Democrats think increasing wages will magically make more cows appear on Earth so the supply matches the demand better.
So what happen to my 29 cent Hamburger
And 39 cent cheese burger 🍔
I still have my recite
@@juansrtarin9286lied to
$18 for phosphate poisoned meat and bread, sounds like a pretty good deal to me.. if you have a death wish. I blacklisted this restaurant decades ago when they started adding nasty salts to their meat and bread. They're not the worse offender though. Some of the chemicals Taco Bell puts in their food should be outlawed IMO Thanks to the wonderful people at the FDA though, you can die with a good taste in your mouth, courtesy of flavor enhancers.
A 4x4 w/ animal style fries from in n out is cheaper than a Big Mac combo and the quality is far out better..... A drink? ¢99 Arizona's $1.04 after tax i think haha or whatever is at home.
It’s still $10 here in California.
With 17 dollar minum wage. In misssipi its 7 dollars with 7 dollar minum wage. Its not that xomplicated. Everybody always has to teach and explain thingz to u huh? U r just lost. Pickup abook and stop rotting your brain on youtub
An entire Big Mac meal for the price of a gallon of California gas!
For that price I make my own it probably tatse better lol be cheaper to fix in the long run
What my friends would say blame biden for the price increase
Why are MAGAs so fat?
Keep voting democrat
And keep eating Republican.
Mc Donald will lose 100 and millions of Mc Donald kid
Who love Mick Ds
No more cold fris & Hamburger and cheese it sad what micky D
Is do to the new generation
And all the kids meal
Thats mcdonalds business not yours
It's quite simple......just stop eating at these high priced fast food places......just stop it! Ppl need to find other places to eat at with actual real food .
Going to your local chinese take out is much cheaper than this for real.
@svenmanning Yeah, but people will catch onto this. Eventually, their prices will rise too in order to balance out the demand. It all comes full circle man.
Americans are addicted to salt, fat and sugar. They treat their bodies like garbage cans. People should eat fruits and vegetables and prepare them at home.
Just bought some Ribeye steak $7.99 per pound 😆 🤣 😂
