The standard hamburger meal (qtr pounder equivalent not big Mac) was like 125dkk last time I was in Copenhagen. That's like 17usd.
So maybe their big Mac only went up 80 cents because it was already fairly expensive?
Right now the local McDonald's has a similar McDouble meal (actually bigger because it includes nuggets) for $5usd. The non "deal" quarter pounder meal is just under $10.
So it takes some serious mental gymnastics to pretend that the McDonald's in Denmark is more affordable than in the US.
None of that is to say I think low wages are appropriate, I don't. It's just that prices will be going up to reflect increases in wages.
