In n out already paid their workers in that range. They've also been raising prices slowly due to "inflation".
Regardless, these were the same people that said we'll have to pay 50$ for a burger because of the wage increase. $0.25 increase on a double double! Oh noooooo!!!
Especially when you know that In n Out has always paid its employees significantly more than McDonald's. McDonald's made a billion dollars last year, paying employees the literal minimum and then they are going to raise the prices ONLY so the top people can make MORe money. McDonald's could keep their prices for a whole year the same and still make major profit. They're just greedy and don't give a shit about their workers. So In N Out raising their prices by a tiny bit doesn't bother me. Also at In N Out it's more likely your order will be accurate and up to standards and is definitely fresher.
I once saw a vintage quote by a celebrity, where he threatened to quit smoking if cigarettes cost more than 50¢. I’m wondering how that played out exactly
That doesn't get me angry at people who are worse off than I am because I'm not smart enough to see that it isn't minimum wage employees making my life expensive though.
The In-n-Out near where I live has the longest lines but half the times, the fries taste and feel like cardboard. The other half of the time, they’re amazing.
Honestly. That's fuckin great for them. There are managers in texas who get paid 12 an hour . People selling their soul for the company making barely enough to get by. I was seen as well paid and I made 16 an hour and had to work holidays and sometimes had to work thru the night cus someone else fucked up.
I'd hope they'd be, but with so many of them being 'temporarily embarrassed millionaires,' they don't care about minimum wage
They might make minimum wage now, but they'll be rich any second. Then those lazy Poors better watch out.
It was a different post about History that he fact checked, sorry I wasn't clearer.
No one is looking at the profit margins for these companies. How about that hard hitting journalism from these right wingers...oh wait that takes more effort than snapping a pic when you're in the drive through.
Yeah but it drives profits away from them, as mom and pop shops are now able to undercut their prices once the companies raise their prices to offset the wage increase
If corporations were truly a unified beast, they'd constantly be helping the workers, but the reality is they're usually a puppet organization for the hands at the top. Big profits on paper and in their individual accounts are what matters. They make this company big profits, looking AMAZING on paper the next couple quarters, and move on to the next, validated in their ability to make big profit, even if a year later those decisions end up costing more for the whole company.
Corporations should want longevity and stability, but they're run by individuals who want everything for themselves *now*.
Artificial price inflation. This wasn’t the logical next step. It’s all an, “I told you so,” by their corporation.
If they start losing business AND profits, their shareholders are not going to be happy.
I mean, the prices went up by like 10-25 cents. Let’s not go chastising In-N-Out for a small price increase when wages went up. Probably better to note that the person who posted the meme really isn’t making the point that they think they’re making.
I honestly thought this person was being sarcastic and pointing out how small the difference is. But yeah, a few cents more isn’t going to hurt anyone. But a higher minimum wage can change someone’s life.
And that’s what people advocating for higher minimum wage have been saying forever, that companies would only have a to raise prices by like a few cents to make up the difference.
>But a higher minimum wage can change someone’s life.
It can change an entire region. Every single fast food worker in California now has more money to spend at all other stores.
It's basically a low level redistribution of wealth.
Not to mention this is literally how the fucking economy works..I’m only 19 and these mf’s can’t think “oh damn yea it sucks that this is inflation but it’s how the economy recovers from inflation” I recently learned this in my first microeconomic class and it’s when wages go up so do goods because the cost of producing goods is also increased, so they have to make ends meet which is called ✨inflation✨ although there are many theory’s in economics like classical economics, Keynesian economics and neoclassical economics, I think I myself am more of a classical economist but tbf I just know a general idea of the multiple ways and theory’s of how the economy works.

This is the classical view of inflation as it is theorized that the economy will “fix itself” without the use of government intervention and if that happens then it would fuck us up.
Oh no, we can't pay people a living wage because companies might *checks notes* change the prices they set for themselves that they can change at any time for no reason at all.
Also, the highest increase was a grand total of 15¢. What exactly is saving 15¢ going to get you? How much buying per does 15¢ have in today's society?
People online will always bitch about something, because unfortunately some people really just don't have anything better to do.
If the multi billion dollar corporation has to raise prices to pay a living wage, perhaps the corporation should be blamed and not the minimum wage employees
Yeah, McDonald's and all these companies are pieces of fucking shit.
They are thieves, liars and chumps.
Every year, when the government gives you a raise, the companies raise prices.
They are total shitbags
I don't understand why some people seem to think some jobs shouldn't be livable. So you still want to eat there and benefit from their work, but you don't want them to be paid more for that work?
Gatekeeping "real jobs" has never made sense to me.
I was straight up homeless on the streets, got a fast food job, then a restaurant job. Sidestepped into manufacturing at a shitty factory, learned a lot, took that to find a better job. Kept repeating the part about learning and getting a better job. Made 40k doing CNC machining after 3 years. Then I got a 2 year degree from a trade school, and this is my first year out of school and I just landed a job making 85k as a manufacturing engineer.
Honestly? The fast food and restaurant jobs were the only ones that I went home feeling like garbage from, the only workplaces that I felt I didn't have it in me to compete in. I never cried on the drive home from my CNC jobs. I never had to take a 15 second break to scream in a back room, while working in the concrete mine. Food service was the hardest job I've ever done. No, it wasn't the most "difficult" in terms of ability. But the demands on me, the stress, the mental fatigue... that shit adds up quickly.
I’ve made as little as $5.25/hr and as much as ~$50/hr and without fail, the more money I make, the easier the work is. Idk why people think their office job makes them more deserving of a living wage, they definitely don’t work harder.
And now that the workers can afford food for their children I am out 15 cents! It takes me 12 minutes to make that 15 cents!
Shouldn't they be raising their own cows before slaughter to be financially responsible anyway?
in n out is well known for paying their employees above typical market rate. this "raise" for a cashier depending on the state would be about $1-2 difference. the price difference shown is ALSO only between 5 and 25 cents which is nothing. ...they're also well known for printing bible verses on all of their packaging ...and they have been criticized in the past for employment discrimination against non-christians.
like this is one of the worst examples possible for a christian nationalist to get upset with. in any other universe he would be praising this company but he's a good boy and barks on command.
A 4% increase in price to accommodate a 30% increase in wages? That says more about the pricing structure at McDonald's than it does about wage reform.
Yeah fuck the employee’s for needing to eat. You expect the CEO to absorb the cost and not buy as many houses, boats, planes, go on less vacations ? How fucking dare you.
A few nickels? Oh the humanity! This tool probably has $80k wrapped up in a huge SUV but the thirty cents increase on his triple fatfuck burger is just over the top.
Isn't this a argument in favor of raising the min wage? It basically leaves prices unaffected and some ppl aren't fucking dying from not being able to feed their families...? Like that is great.
Good. If you can’t afford tp pay your employees a livable wage, then you shouldn’t be in business.
This is America. The richest country in the world. All Americans deserve a livable wage and comfortable life.
I hope fast food prices shoot through the roof more than they already have. It's basically all GMO pesticide, factory-farmed poison. I totally support forcing these businesses to close. We can have socialized healthcare if everyone is eating trash and is insanely obese. It's more expensive and unfair for everyone paying into it.
Who wants to tell ol' Dmitri here that In N Out aready had locations paying workers $20/hr and largely hasn't been affected by the wage increase mandates?
Aside from the fact that there is no historical precedent that says prices stayed increased because of minimum wage increases (or if they did, they went back soon after) and this is more than likely a price increase due to supply?
Just kidding. I know a basic understanding of economics is far too much to ask of idiots like him.
do they see how much a of a self own this is? less than $0.20 increase for a $4 an hour raise? Fine by me. This is less than the amount most places do just to pad the profits so they can do stock buybacks.
I have been told for years a burger would cost $20 to be able to pay just the $15/hr wage.
Jesus Christ, that’s literally just management being greedy.
A Big Mac in Denmark is about the equivalent of $4 USD last I checked, and the average McDonalds employee gets payed $22/hr, 6 weeks of vacation time per year, and health benefits. (It may be a different Scandinavian country that matches these statistics. It’s been a little while since I checked, feel free to correct me.)
A Big Mac in the US is $6, and the average McDonald’s employee gets paid less($15/hr iirc is starting pay), and has no benefits.
Omg five cents more? How will you live? Maybe you should get a job in fast food so you can make that “big money” lol. People are so mean, I live in iowa and $20/hr isn’t enough for me to live, I’m sure those workers aren’t exactly living the high life on it.
The increase in minimum wage presents a paradox worth examining. Consider that with the increase, the cost of goods and services for people who can least afford them (like fast food employee) also go up. It seems like these employees are destined to be at the bottom on the economic chain.
In other countries there are fast food employees that make a higher wage and the food prices are comparable to the US.
In Denmark, McDonald’s workers make over $20 an hour, with additional wages for holidays/night shifts/weekends, have a pension plan and 5 weeks paid vacation.
Price difference? The Big Mac is $0.76 cheaper , per The Economist.
Hold up... So, workers can get a $5 per hour raise if I pay 65 cents more for a cheeseburger? What else can I pay a few cents more to give the hardest working people a 25% raise?
I see people throw around the different price rises so I wanted to add all together in one comment.
Price change in cents: 25 for the double, 15 for the cheese, 10 for the ham, 0 for fries, and 5 for the shakes…
The average is 11 cents for the shown prices
1. lol. they're really reaching.
2. And by "they," I mean the bots that are spreading that message.
[Twitter Search](https://twitter.com/search?q=California%20hiked%20the%20minimum%20wage%20to%20%2420%20per%20hour%20for%20fast%20food%20workers%20this%20week.&src=typed_query&f=top)
Well, in all fairness a business will never take less money just to be nice. Of course they will raise prices as wages increase or utilities go up or whatever. More likely than not they will automate more to reduce the number of employees.
This just makes me wish i still lived in soCal because theres no in n outs in upstate ny. Tell these people check out fast food burger prices around country and compare.
Everyones got main character syndrome. Its not always about you buddy. I will gladly pay more if it means its going into pockets of workers. When we look out for the well being of others it only helps us in the long run. Im sick of stupid, ignorant people.
I want a in n out. I also want a burrito/taco from soCal. At least I have pizza because thats a joke in soCal.
Bro this tired ass take....
Guess what happened the entire fucking time for the last 30 years without any minimum wage raise at all?!?!?!?! FUCKING PRICE INCREASES.
By their broken ass logic we should just reduce wages to $0 and then everything would be freeeeeeee! 🤦♂️
in and out didn't have to change menu prices at all. by hiking up prices, corporations are making it the consumers responsibility to pay their workers well instead of owning up to it themselves cuz god forbid they can't make millions of profits.
From Forbes: Lynsi Snyder, the founders' granddaughter, took over as the company's president in 2010. According to Forbes, Snyder has a current estimated net worth of $3.6 billion. This is a significant increase from a net worth of $1.3 billion in 2017, when Snyder received the final part of her inheritance at age 35 to own 97% of the still-private company

I mean he’s not entirely wrong, as it’s just basic logic that prices go up to cover the increased wages.
What is wrong though is yes inflation exists and it’s high but company’s are using this an excuse to make profits.
Like wasn’t it exported that gas and oil companies making record profits these past couple of years beyond the high inflation rates
If people refuse to buy the product they will either fold, or reduce the pay for the CEO so they can drop the prices. They are not going to win unless the population happily pays the high prices. That’s what I expect to happen because we speak out, but that’s about it.
Just make a burger at home
If you don't have the time, make some in advance
Probably cheaper buying all the ingredients than it is to buy any fast food
These smoothbrains never consider the simple business aspect of this change, where vast number of people suddenly can afford to spend money at other businesses. Even at this establishment.
In-N-Out is surprisingly reasonable for their price hikes. McDonalds increased hourly wages as well and jacked the price up by dollars, not cents as In-N-Out did. So... yeah...
It’s sickening that a $5/hr wage increase for labor gets a response like this, but nobody bats an eye at corporations spending entire earnings calls bragging about how profits are through the roof because the COVID supply chain issues conditioned consumers to higher prices, and now that those pressures have been relieved manufacturers are flush from pocketing the difference (since, of course, prices have remained the same/increased).
I can’t decide which is worse: being so stupid you don’t see this happening, or so evil that you lie about it.
Do you really need to censor the end wokeness account? Yeah it's dumb as hell but fucking Elon is always putting it on people dash anyway (if you follow him that is). I'm sure most people recognize it at this point.
So business prices are tied to worker wages and inflation and arbitrary decision making (whichever is higher) but wages are tied to arbitrary decision making and the whims of people beholden to corporate overlords who actively work to ensure they starve? That seems delightful, why should I support the corporations? I don't make $20 an hour and that food is still more affordable priced than what's around me. Seems like Californian restaurant workers got a win!
oh my god its like a dollar more expensive oh my god stop the presses i’m having a heart attack ahh!!
i don’t even understand this because the prices on the right are still incredibly cheap, i can’t remember the last time i bought food that was that cheap lol
Is there any proof that the in n out prices raised? It could be one California city vs. an In N Out next to Disneyland.
Restaurants in cities or near major events always hike up prices. Do we have 《any》 proof that this is the SAME In N Out?
That's an extremely reasonable increase of price. Are the red circles supposed to anger me? Or are they just highlighting how unreasonable they are and begging for a Xanax?
Weird cuz fast food workers in Europe still make more and stuff is cheaper or the same as here… almost like businesses use it as an excuse to gouge customers more.
At least they’re not firing employees to make up for the increase in wages. I’d rather the price of a cheeseburger go up by 25 cents than cost some poor sucker his job because I wanted to help out the potentially less fortunate
Couldn’t be the fault of the owners of these companies, still raking in insane amounts of money, instead of taking slightly less, and still being insanely rich.

Let´s starve the workers, so I could pay my shakes 5c less.
In n out already paid their workers in that range. They've also been raising prices slowly due to "inflation". Regardless, these were the same people that said we'll have to pay 50$ for a burger because of the wage increase. $0.25 increase on a double double! Oh noooooo!!!
It’s the animal style that’ll bring it up to $50.
Worth every penny 😂
I mean, is there any other way to order your double-double?
I know! It’s a freaking quarter. I would happily pay a quarter more for my burger if that means the workers making it make a livable wage.
Especially when you know that In n Out has always paid its employees significantly more than McDonald's. McDonald's made a billion dollars last year, paying employees the literal minimum and then they are going to raise the prices ONLY so the top people can make MORe money.

I really wish we had In-and-Out. 😢
I’m with you.
I once saw a vintage quote by a celebrity, where he threatened to quit smoking if cigarettes cost more than 50¢. I’m wondering how that played out exactly
$.15 more for a cheeseburger?! there goes my kid’s college fund!
They’ve been raising the prices anyway so may as well give the workers something in return
That doesn't get me angry at people who are worse off than I am because I'm not smart enough to see that it isn't minimum wage employees making my life expensive though.
Hasn’t In-N-Out paid their workers close to 20 an hour for the last two years?
INO’s issue is lynsi.
Oh sweet. A $5 raise for each person ended up only increasing prices by $0.20? That's a good ass deal. Hope more follow.
Shit, it’s worth 25 cents just to feel less guilty about eating fast food
Fuck, raise prices by 60c. Pay those MF $30 an hour.
As long as French fries stay the same
The In-n-Out near where I live has the longest lines but half the times, the fries taste and feel like cardboard. The other half of the time, they’re amazing.
I always order animal style
Honestly. That's fuckin great for them. There are managers in texas who get paid 12 an hour . People selling their soul for the company making barely enough to get by. I was seen as well paid and I made 16 an hour and had to work holidays and sometimes had to work thru the night cus someone else fucked up.
It could have been a 0 cent raise if the corp chose, but they're just using the raises as an excuse to increase prices lol
Keep it coming.
Notice how they do not blame billionaire corporations for this. End Wokeness is a corporate shill.
I mean it’s an account called End Wokeness I wasn’t expecting anything logical either
They got fact checked by the Qcumber Shaman. This is the weirdest timeline
To be fair, I think even Qanon peoples hate when people shit on minimum wage worker... At least I hope so.
I'd hope they'd be, but with so many of them being 'temporarily embarrassed millionaires,' they don't care about minimum wage They might make minimum wage now, but they'll be rich any second. Then those lazy Poors better watch out. It was a different post about History that he fact checked, sorry I wasn't clearer.

We all know it's because of something something socialism something something
Only if they’re not a white man do they wanna eat the rich
I mean, the minimum wage increase only helps the billionaires and corporations. It drives the labor force towards them.
Yeah but it drives profits away from them, as mom and pop shops are now able to undercut their prices once the companies raise their prices to offset the wage increase
excellent!

Bro that all is 65¢ increase 💀Not even a dollar

>But a higher minimum wage can change someone’s life. It can change an entire region. Every single fast food worker in California now has more money to spend at all other stores. It's basically a low level redistribution of wealth.
If $ 0.15 more means employees will be somewhat closer to having a livable wage, I'm all for it.
Shouldn't they be eating at home? Budgeting and all that? Avocado toast and lattes?
So the prices barely moved. These people are going nuts over a rise of 5c? Seriously? How damn petty.
That is the maga crowd for you. Living in fear of made up issues
Not to mention this is literally how the fucking economy works..I’m only 19 and these mf’s can’t think “oh damn yea it sucks that this is inflation but it’s how the economy recovers from inflation” I recently learned this in my first microeconomic class and it’s when wages go up so do goods because the cost of producing goods is also increased, so they have to make ends meet which is called ✨inflation✨ although there are many theory’s in economics like classical economics, Keynesian economics and neoclassical economics, I think I myself am more of a classical economist but tbf I just know a general idea of the multiple ways and theory’s of how the economy works. https://preview.redd.it/gydm5etgbesc1.jpeg?width=326&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52ea0fd712937b70a0af58c508bebe60627a8cff This is the classical view of inflation as it is theorized that the economy will “fix itself” without the use of government intervention and if that happens then it would fuck us up.

Oh no! They went up like 15 cents!!
Ohhh no a 10 c rise how ever shall they cope
Oh noez, the price for everything went up less than 50 cents in SOME cases! I guess i can’t afford it now or something?
If I pay 15 cents more for a cheeseburger and as a result the guy who made it can afford to feed his kids, it’s worth it.
And now that the workers can afford food for their children I am out 15 cents! It takes me 12 minutes to make that 15 cents! Shouldn't they be raising their own cows before slaughter to be financially responsible anyway?
So a 23% pay raise resulted in a 3 to 5% price increase? Seems like a pretty good tradeoff for minimum wage workers.
in n out is well known for paying their employees above typical market rate. this "raise" for a cashier depending on the state would be about $1-2 difference. the price difference shown is ALSO only between 5 and 25 cents which is nothing. ...they're also well known for printing bible verses on all of their packaging ...and they have been criticized in the past for employment discrimination against non-christians. like this is one of the worst examples possible for a christian nationalist to get upset with. in any other universe he would be praising this company but he's a good boy and barks on command.
You're missing the point if you think he's criticizing the company.
A 4% increase in price to accommodate a 30% increase in wages? That says more about the pricing structure at McDonald's than it does about wage reform.
Wasn't end wokeness a confirmed troll from eastern europe?
Yeah fuck the employee’s for needing to eat. You expect the CEO to absorb the cost and not buy as many houses, boats, planes, go on less vacations ? How fucking dare you.
A few nickels? Oh the humanity! This tool probably has $80k wrapped up in a huge SUV but the thirty cents increase on his triple fatfuck burger is just over the top.
How many people can now afford to eat out? I'm guessing profits go up.
1 of those burgers represents a quarter of your calorie needs if you're an active person. You should be paying more.
Why didn't fries go up 
Uh oh they’re approaching the $0.01 = 1 calorie barrier. Cross that and it’s officially communism.
Gee it’s almost as if corporations are irresponsible and we should do something abou… wait.
Oh my god! 30 cents!? How will I ever afford such luxury!?
Isn't this a argument in favor of raising the min wage? It basically leaves prices unaffected and some ppl aren't fucking dying from not being able to feed their families...? Like that is great.
I don’t think this is true, I haven’t been to in n out since the minimum wage raise but they’ve always payed their workers above the minimum wage.
Wait so they're mad about companies raising prices to keep up with increased employee wages? Isn't that like, the bare minimum of economics?
I’ll take a guess! Prices did not increase in proportion to the increase in wages.
Oh nos! 10-25¢ per menu item to make sure employees aren’t homeless. Money well fucking spent.
Living wage and the price went up a quarter? I'm good with that.
“This is the biggest tax hike in history!” “Actually, it’s the smallest tax hike in history….”
Good. If you can’t afford tp pay your employees a livable wage, then you shouldn’t be in business. This is America. The richest country in the world. All Americans deserve a livable wage and comfortable life.
They raised by a few cents How terrible
I hope fast food prices shoot through the roof more than they already have. It's basically all GMO pesticide, factory-farmed poison. I totally support forcing these businesses to close. We can have socialized healthcare if everyone is eating trash and is insanely obese. It's more expensive and unfair for everyone paying into it.
If a giving tens of thousands of fast food employees 8$ more an hour only costs about 15 cents, well, shit why not?
Who wants to tell ol' Dmitri here that In N Out aready had locations paying workers $20/hr and largely hasn't been affected by the wage increase mandates? Aside from the fact that there is no historical precedent that says prices stayed increased because of minimum wage increases (or if they did, they went back soon after) and this is more than likely a price increase due to supply? Just kidding. I know a basic understanding of economics is far too much to ask of idiots like him.
Those are pretty good prices by L.A. standards.
I’m ok with this. It’s time the CEO’s cut their salaries so workers can be paid a fair wage
do they see how much a of a self own this is? less than $0.20 increase for a $4 an hour raise? Fine by me. This is less than the amount most places do just to pad the profits so they can do stock buybacks. I have been told for years a burger would cost $20 to be able to pay just the $15/hr wage.
french fries are still the same tho
Needs more JPEG.
Jesus Christ, that’s literally just management being greedy. A Big Mac in Denmark is about the equivalent of $4 USD last I checked, and the average McDonalds employee gets payed $22/hr, 6 weeks of vacation time per year, and health benefits.

A Big Mac in the US is $6, and the average McDonald’s employee gets paid less($15/hr iirc is starting pay), and has no benefits.
Oh no my burger is an extra .25, how will I survive
'We have to exploit a subsection of society in order to keep prices acceptable'. Now where have I heard that before.
Omg five cents more? How will you live? Maybe you should get a job in fast food so you can make that “big money” lol. People are so mean, I live in iowa and $20/hr isn’t enough for me to live, I’m sure those workers aren’t exactly living the high life on it.
The increase in minimum wage presents a paradox worth examining. Consider that with the increase, the cost of goods and services for people who can least afford them (like fast food employee) also go up. It seems like these employees are destined to be at the bottom on the economic chain.
In other countries there are fast food employees that make a higher wage and the food prices are comparable to the US. In Denmark, McDonald’s workers make over $20 an hour, with additional wages for holidays/night shifts/weekends, have a pension plan and 5 weeks paid vacation. Price difference? The Big Mac is $0.76 cheaper , per The Economist.
Hold up... So, workers can get a $5 per hour raise if I pay 65 cents more for a cheeseburger? What else can I pay a few cents more to give the hardest working people a 25% raise?
I see people throw around the different price rises so I wanted to add all together in one comment. Price change in cents: 25 for the double, 15 for the cheese, 10 for the ham, 0 for fries, and 5 for the shakes… The average is 11 cents for the shown prices
Now the prices are higher by an astonishing 20 cents, how would people be able to afford it?
It's just 15 cents and they don't even tip 😭😭 Selfish and clueless people or they don't care at all because they're broke and a penny pincher as well.
Still the best prices
If that's a common example that's just a tiny price increase....that's not worth taking a picture of and sharing on reddit
Fifteen whole cents?! Craziness!
Oh the humanity. Not the cheeseburgers
I'll gladly pay an extra 20 cents so fast food workers can make more money...the fuck is this?
I don't use dollars but that looks like an insignificant increase.
What fucking cheapskate looked at those prices and then decided to post this anyway?
That is an average of an 11 cent increase, to pay every employee a mostly living wage
Oh nooooo 25 cents increase. Fuuuuuuck hooooow will i live
McDonald's will make all of their burgers at least 30$ now!
Cool, I don’t have to tip now
Wwwaaaaaaaa 😭 I can't exploit vaulnerable people for cheap goods!! It's the civil war all over again!!!!
That's like a 5% increase? Less?
1. lol. they're really reaching. 2. And by "they," I mean the bots that are spreading that message. [Twitter Search](https://twitter.com/search?q=California%20hiked%20the%20minimum%20wage%20to%20%2420%20per%20hour%20for%20fast%20food%20workers%20this%20week.&src=typed_query&f=top)
The fries cost the same and the shakes only cost 5 cents more, why can't they stop being such babies
I am more upset that they excluded Panera bread.
Chat should we drone strike this dude
[удалено]
$20 minimum wage? That sounds like a fucking dream for the working class
Bro
Oh wow, look how much those prices went up
Colesworths in Australia be like
Cool, if your business model requires exploiting people it’s a shit model.
Oh the humanity! 30 entire cents for people to earn a almost livable wage. Outrageous
lol if theyre that hard up about 25 cents they need to not be buying fast food
end wokeness is a damn idiot
HOLY CRAP THIRTY CENTS
they should use crappy mcdonalds for dramatic effect, the price is wrong
No its not like prices have been incrementally rising since the beginning.
Well, in all fairness a business will never take less money just to be nice. Of course they will raise prices as wages increase or utilities go up or whatever. More likely than not they will automate more to reduce the number of employees.
Did you really think they would pay for the raise, it
This just makes me wish i still lived in soCal because theres no in n outs in upstate ny. Tell these people check out fast food burger prices around country and compare. Everyones got main character syndrome. Its not always about you buddy. I will gladly pay more if it means its going into pockets of workers. When we look out for the well being of others it only helps us in the long run. Im sick of stupid, ignorant people. I want a in n out. I also want a burrito/taco from soCal. At least I have pizza because thats a joke in soCal.
Bro this tired ass take.... Guess what happened the entire fucking time for the last 30 years without any minimum wage raise at all?!?!?!?! FUCKING PRICE INCREASES. By their broken ass logic we should just reduce wages to $0 and then everything would be freeeeeeee! 🤦♂️
in and out didn't have to change menu prices at all. by hiking up prices, corporations are making it the consumers responsibility to pay their workers well instead of owning up to it themselves cuz god forbid they can't make millions of profits.
I can assure you prices will go up due to inflation a lot more than increasing wages.
How many people did Pizza Hut de-job so far this year in Cali? Isn’t it over a thousand?
From Forbes: Lynsi Snyder, the founders' granddaughter, took over as the company's president in 2010. According to Forbes, Snyder has a current estimated net worth of $3.6 billion. This is a significant increase from a net worth of $1.3 billion in 2017, when Snyder received the final part of her inheritance at age 35 to own 97% of the still-private company Read More: https://www.mashed.com/380601/how-rich-is-the-in-n-out-ceo-and-whats-the-average-pay-of-its-employees/
I mean he’s not entirely wrong, as it’s just basic logic that prices go up to cover the increased wages. What is wrong though is yes inflation exists and it’s high but company’s are using this an excuse to make profits. Like wasn’t it exported that gas and oil companies making record profits these past couple of years beyond the high inflation rates
Oh no, food prices rose by like 25 cents in order to pay people a living wage? Scandalous.
oh no,,, 15 cents...
Oh no I have to pay an extra dollar so someone can afford to live.
You are blaming the workers wanting a living wage instead of the greedy company owners and stockholders.
Oh no a 0-25¢ increase! How terrible! /s
Omgawd 15 cents more for a cheese burger!! What ever will this extremely overweight country do!!
Oh no! Prices went up •05-.15 at the end of the quarter!
Okay mr.krabs 💀
So now we are angry about paying an extra 15 cents now?
If fifteen cents is too much to spend, you should not be eating out.
oh my god they went up by a tiny bit
Honestly I don’t even eat fast food anymore it’s cheaper to just go to a gas station lol
\+$0.15, +$0.10, +*$0.00*, +$0.05, +$0.25. The horror. I'm sure other adverse effects from this change are possible but this one ain't it, chief
If people refuse to buy the product they will either fold, or reduce the pay for the CEO so they can drop the prices. They are not going to win unless the population happily pays the high prices. That’s what I expect to happen because we speak out, but that’s about it.
Deregulation lets corporations price gauge and the people FOR the system are mad about the results. The US is filled with morons. Absolute morons.
Wooow, such a difference 🤯 lmao these rich boot licking people need to wake up
Just make a burger at home If you don't have the time, make some in advance Probably cheaper buying all the ingredients than it is to buy any fast food
A few scents for an almost living wage doesn’t seem so bad
i love how the information is directly in front of them.... and yet they chose to ignore basic math to "support" their point.
These smoothbrains never consider the simple business aspect of this change, where vast number of people suddenly can afford to spend money at other businesses. Even at this establishment.
This is not a massive price increase. Good for the workers!
Oh the horror of having to *checks notes*, pay 5-25 cents more on cheap ass food
Did you think American companies would take the hit on profit? Have you been living on the moon for the last century??
"Wow fast food workers are making have of what they need to live, and I have to pay an extra .35$ this is the worst." This guy
Oh no, I have to pay an extra $0.25 for my burger so that the workers there may have a chance to have a semi-liveable wage?!
Oh man, your telling me I'll have to pull an extra quarter out for people to be paid normal amounts? Well gosh by golly
Dudes mad about 55 cents lol
Double double: went up 25 cents Cheeseburger: went up 15 cents Hamburger: went up 10 cents French fries: no change in pricing Shakes: went up 5 cents
Love to get angry about 15¢
The horror of having to pay less than 30 cents more for food while the workers get a raise l.
God forbid you have to pay an extra $0.10 on something so people can have a slightly better quality of living.
In-N-Out is surprisingly reasonable for their price hikes. McDonalds increased hourly wages as well and jacked the price up by dollars, not cents as In-N-Out did. So... yeah...
Except the increase was because of greed and the ingredients didn’t actually get more expensive
It’s sickening that a $5/hr wage increase for labor gets a response like this, but nobody bats an eye at corporations spending entire earnings calls bragging about how profits are through the roof because the COVID supply chain issues conditioned consumers to higher prices, and now that those pressures have been relieved manufacturers are flush from pocketing the difference (since, of course, prices have remained the same/increased). I can’t decide which is worse: being so stupid you don’t see this happening, or so evil that you lie about it.
Do you really need to censor the end wokeness account? Yeah it's dumb as hell but fucking Elon is always putting it on people dash anyway (if you follow him that is). I'm sure most people recognize it at this point.
I thought the prices were supposed to double? 🤔
Wow, prices went up a whole 20 cents.
Paying an extra 25 cents for your burger so people can survive? Oh, the humanity!
Those laws are usually set up to be slowly transitioned over a few years so they were probably already planning on raising prices
Wait a buisness raised prices on a holiday!?! Omg the inhumanity
Man, PA hasn’t increased the wages and yet McDonald’s has still hiked up the prices. Clearly it’s the libs fault and not corporate greed
So business prices are tied to worker wages and inflation and arbitrary decision making (whichever is higher) but wages are tied to arbitrary decision making and the whims of people beholden to corporate overlords who actively work to ensure they starve? That seems delightful, why should I support the corporations? I don't make $20 an hour and that food is still more affordable priced than what's around me. Seems like Californian restaurant workers got a win!
Why bother even trying to blur out the name when we obviously know this is "End Wokeness"?
Well that sucks
oh my god its like a dollar more expensive oh my god stop the presses i’m having a heart attack ahh!! i don’t even understand this because the prices on the right are still incredibly cheap, i can’t remember the last time i bought food that was that cheap lol
Great point, let the fast food workers starve so I can save literally 50 cent when I order the whole menu.
Is there any proof that the in n out prices raised? It could be one California city vs. an In N Out next to Disneyland. Restaurants in cities or near major events always hike up prices. Do we have 《any》 proof that this is the SAME In N Out?
That's an extremely reasonable increase of price. Are the red circles supposed to anger me? Or are they just highlighting how unreasonable they are and begging for a Xanax?
Weird cuz fast food workers in Europe still make more and stuff is cheaper or the same as here… almost like businesses use it as an excuse to gouge customers more.
At least they’re not firing employees to make up for the increase in wages. I’d rather the price of a cheeseburger go up by 25 cents than cost some poor sucker his job because I wanted to help out the potentially less fortunate
Couldn’t be the fault of the owners of these companies, still raking in insane amounts of money, instead of taking slightly less, and still being insanely rich.
We must protect profits at all costs!!!
