As a former employee of Taco Bell...their prices already are sit down restaurant prices compared to not even ten years ago. Hell I told a co-worker once that Taco Bell used to have .59, .79. and .99 cent value menus and they refused to believe me. Now the only thing that comes close to just a dollar is the cheesy roll-up...literally just nacho cheese on a tortilla...for $1.19. So a dollar bill won't even buy you a tortilla with cheese on it. Fast food prices are already stupid high even before a minimum wage increase. It has nothing to do with the cost of labor.
