When the cost of living becomes as high as it is today, places like McDonald’s were bound to raise their cost on everything they sell. Paying their employees significantly more than in the past there is no other choice. Having raised four children, McDonald’s was an inexpensive treat for the kids. Today it would be impossible for me to stop for some “MickeyD’s” and their kid boxes with the cheap little toys that encouraged the kids to want to go for a burger. It’s a sad commentary on where we are today. Please don’t misinterpret my words, low paid employees have a real struggle in this economy, but an increase in price was inevitable.
