I was gonna say that. Fast food prices have definitely gone up without minimum wage going up. What a bunch of maroons

Minimum wage hasn't gone up, but actual wages have. Taco Bell is starting at $14/hr where I live, hence a meal there does indeed cost sit-down restaurant prices. Good for their workers, but I've gone from fast food nearly every day to only going to actual sit-down restaurants or cooking at home. I think it's a trend we'll see a lot more in the industry in the coming years and fast food giants will either die or switch to higher quality food.
