McDonald's and Chipotle said they will raise menu prices in California to pay for the minimum wage hikes that Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed into law.
When I used to eat at McDonald’s, it was because I was working 3 jobs and it was a quick, cheap way to get something vaguely nutricious into my body en route between jobs. Because of understaffing , the delays to order, to pay, and to get your food mean it’s no longer fast; and it’s certainly no longer cheap. The only remaining advantage is the “en route between jobs” part, but it’s just easier to store a cooler in the car now.
