    Wages haven’t risen across the board at fast food places by any useful amount.

    Prices of items at fast food places have been increasing and portions have been decreasing.

    In the few cities where fast food places were required to increase their prices to above “living wages” as tests, everything turned out fine.

      I remember when I was in high school the in and out paid like $12 an hour which was way more than what other fast food places were giving at the time ($7.25-$9) and eating at in and out was still cheaper or at least on par with the other places. The in and out in question I still in business while some of the other place have closed up and been replaced a time or two already. Fuck anyone who says bullshit like the article.
