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.
All I’m talking about is food prices and wages. If they raise their prices and their target audience stops going—then they will lower prices or go out of business.
They are more than capable of keeping prices the same and paying more… they just get less profit.
The company who says “we will pay more wages and keep our prices the same” will eventually be the “cheaper burger” and profit more by taking all of the business.

This is the end of my participation. Good day.
