为什么美国的快餐产品变得越来越贵了？
Why Fast Food Has Gotten So Expensive
译文简介
美国的快餐店价格蹭蹭上涨，企业解释说是通货膨胀以及工人的工资上涨导致的，老百姓却不买账，觉得主要是因为企业过于贪婪！
正文翻译
CNBC：Prices at limited-service restaurants including Wendy's, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A and Chipotle have increased more over the past decade than both full-service restaurants and overall inflation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Experts say rising labor costs are the main culprit. McDonald's underwhelming first-quarter 2024 earnings results are one example of a fast-food giant feeling the repercussions of its soaring prices.

美国消费者新闻与商业频道：根据美国劳工统计局的数据，在过去十年中，包括温迪、塔可钟、福来鸡和奇博特在内的有限服务餐厅的价格涨幅超过了提供全方位服务的餐厅和整体通货膨胀率。专家表示，劳动力成本上升是罪魁祸首。麦当劳 2024 年第一季度的收益结果令人失望，这是一家快餐巨头感受到其价格飙升影响的一个例子。观看视频以了解更多信息。

I spent 16$ on 3 items from Taco Bell last week. Chik fila is charging nearly $4 just for a large drink full of ice. It’s insane.
@BeachLookingGuy
上周我在塔可钟花了16美元买了3样东西。福乐鸡的一大杯冰饮料要价近4美元。这是疯狂的。
Subway is ridiculous here in Canada they want almost 20 bucks for one foot long sandwich get the hell out of here.
赛百味在加拿大太荒谬了，一英尺长的三明治要20美元，滚出去。
Prices go up while i've still seen people who work at mcdonalds and only make $10/hr
价格上涨，而我仍然看到在麦当劳工作的人每小时只赚 10 美元。
Can you explain why wages are higher in other countries and the menu prices are still lower?
您能解释一下为什么其他国家的工资更高，而菜单价格仍然更低吗？
Um yeah, bro. Americans tolerate corporate greed more because we worship the dollar. If you're wealthy in America, you can be president. No other qualifications are needed because having cash equals virtue and intelligence.
嗯，是的，兄弟。美国人更能容忍企业的贪婪，因为我们崇拜美元。如果你在美国很有钱，你可以当总统。不需要其他资格，因为拥有现金等于美德和智慧。
We've quit going to any fast food places. There's just no reason. Their advantages were they were fast, convenient, and cheaper. They aren't fast anymore, their hours at least where we live have been cut way back, quality is down, locations have closed, prices are through the roof, and now many places are pressuring you to tip. So they aren't convenient or cheap either. There are plenty of full service restaurants that offer way better food for similar prices and in a similar period of time. I do miss McD's fries, but not enough to want to go there.
我们已经不再去任何快餐店。 因为没有去的理由。 它们的优点是快速、方便且更便宜。 但是现在他们不再快了，至少在我们住的地方，他们的工作时间已经缩短了，质量下降了，地点关闭了，价格飙升，现在很多地方都在向你施压，要求你给小费。 所以它们也不方便也不便宜。有很多其他提供全方位服务的餐厅，以相似的价格和相似的时间段提供更好的食物。 我确实想念麦当的薯条，但还不没有想到要去那里的地步。
Executive compensation is too high, franchise fees are too high, advertising spending is too high, but sure blame the people wanting more than 12 bucks an hour.
高管薪酬太高，特许经营费太高，广告支出太高，但却要怪那些想要每小时工资达到12美元以上的人。
They raised minimum wage a few bucks then doubled everything in price…. We went backwards…. Life was so much better before 2020
他们把最低工资提高了几美元，然后把所有东西的价格都翻了一番......我们倒退了......在2020年之前，生活要好得多。
CEO of Burger King makes $60,000/hr but yeah, let's blame the guy that makes $15/hr.
汉堡王的首席执行官每小时赚 60,000 美元，但是却让我们去责怪那个每小时赚 15 美元的人。
I am sick and tired of workers being blamed for being "paid too much" The idea that a big mac has to cost 15 dollars for workers to be paid 15/hr is absolutely insane. These corporations are ROLLING in dough, they are not strapped for cash. They are doing this out of greed.
我已经厌倦了工人被指责“工资太高”。一个巨无霸要花15美元，工人每小时才能得到15美元的工资，这种想法绝对是疯狂的。这些公司财源滚滚，他们并不缺钱。他们这样做是出于贪婪。
They'll keep raising prices so long as you keep buying.
只要你继续购买，他们就会继续提高价格。
The real issue is that it's just not worth it. The fast food places were never actually great, they were just cheap. When you take cheap away there is zero reason to ever go there.
真正的问题是，这不值得。 快餐店的品质实际上从来都不是很好，它们只是便宜。 当它们不再便宜的时候，就没有理由去那里了
I love how they keep saying that WAGES are the big reason for the price increases but then fail to mention record corporate profits. We see you, CNBC.
我喜欢看到他们一直说工资上涨是价格上涨的重要原因，但却没有提到创纪录的企业利润。CNBC再见。
They aren't even subtle about it. Funny part is most places outside of California haven't seen a wage increase in over a decade.
他们对此毫不掩饰。有趣的是，加州以外的大多数地方十多年来都没有看到工资增长。
The food quality has gone way down too. McDonald's gives you a cold burger that has been sitting for an hour. It's barely food.
食品质量也下降了。麦当劳给你一个已经做了一个小时的冷汉堡。它几乎算不上食物。
No one eats McDonalds because it’s good, they ate it because it was cheap.
没有人吃麦当劳是因为它好吃，他们吃麦当劳是因为它便宜。

100% right. People went there because it was cheap and a quick meal you didn't have to prepare yourself.
100%正确。人们去那里是因为它很便宜，而且你不必自己准备一顿快餐。

The fries used to be good, then they took the beef flavoring out because of whining from Musli... and vegans.
薯条曾经很好吃，然后由于穆斯林和素食主义者的抱怨，他们把牛肉调味料拿出来了。
I love how pretty much all comments are like: "Yeah the prices are ridiculous etc..." Who the Heck pays for these meals then if not us? Just don't go there!
我看到几乎所有的评论都是这样的：“是的，价格很离谱等等......” 可如果不是我们，那么谁来为这些饭菜支付费用呢？ 不去那里消费就好了！
Solution? STOP BUYING. Let's see if they don't lower their prices after that.
解决方法？停止购买。让我们看看他们之后是否不降低价格。
Been doing it since last year. Hope they feel the pinch, but I’m only one guy. We need more people.
从去年开始我就一直在这样做。希望他们能感受到压力，但我只是一个人。我们需要更多的人。
That’s what we did in India. I remember some years ago when Mcdonalds had to close a few of their locations cause they started charging way higher prices and people were just not buying it. Now they’ve started discounts and deals on their app and it’s pretty cheap (as fast food should be). So yeah if the people stop buying they’ve got no option but to lower the prices overall.
这就是我们在印度所做的。我记得几年前，当麦当劳不得不关闭他们的一些地点时，因为他们开始收取更高的价格，而人们就是不买账。现在他们已经开始在他们的应用程序上打折和优惠，而且它非常便宜（就像快餐一样）。所以，是的，如果人们停止购买，他们别无选择，只能降低整体价格。
Also McDonalds is profitable in Sweden where they pay $30 per hour and have to give 1 year fully paid parental leave . . .still profitable!!!
此外，麦当劳在瑞典是有利可图的，他们每小时支付给员工 30 美元，并且必须提供 1 年的全薪育儿假。即使这样仍然有利可图!!
Massive profit is useless in a high inflation economy. That's like saying i got a massive wage raise but a cup of coffee is 10 bucks and a McDonald's meal is 17 bucks. So a company gets high profits but if the cost of everything is high, their purchasing power is pretty much the same as prior to inflation
在高通胀经济中，巨额利润毫无用处。这就像说我得到了大幅加薪，但一杯咖啡是 10 美元，麦当劳的餐是 17 美元。因此，一家公司获得高额利润，但如果一切成本都很高，他们的购买力几乎与通货膨胀前相同。
Corp profits have nothing to do with this. Most franchise owners are mom and pop
公司利润与此无关。大多数特许经营权所有者都是夫妻店。
Franchised food chains still need to make a profit to keep it's doors open and pay it's employees. 15 dollars per hr for unskilled labor equals higher product prices. It's not that hard. Corporate profit has nothing to do with individual franchise owners tying to keep their doors open
特许经营食品连锁店仍然需要盈利来维持营业，并支付员工工资。每小时15美元的非熟练劳动力等于更高的产品价格。这并不难。公司的利润与个体特许经营所有者努力保持营业无关。

yeah $20 to put cold fries in a bag (with no napkins or ketchup) , and higher materials cost has nothing to do with it. McDonald's stock recently tanked! nobody's getting rich owning or operating McDonald's right now...
是的，把冷薯条放在袋子里就敢卖 20 美元（没有餐巾纸或番茄酱），更高的材料成本与此无关。 麦当劳的股票最近暴跌！ 现在没有人通过拥有或经营麦当劳而致富....

Where I live you can get a meal at McDonald’s for $3-4.
在我住的地方，你可以在麦当劳吃一顿饭，花3-4美元。
The only credit I’ll give CNBC is that they forgot to turn the comments off, and I’m glad that it seems that everyone understands it’s corporate greed and price-gouging which is why we’re at this current point.
唯一值得我称赞的是，CNBC忘了关掉评论，我很高兴，似乎每个人都明白，这是企业的贪婪和价格欺诈，这就是为什么我们会走到现在这个地步。
There is no such thing as price-gouging. No one is forcing anyone to eat at McDonald's.
没有哄抬价格这样的事情。没有人强迫任何人在麦当劳吃饭。
"It's definitely due to labor costs"
My bro I live in Nebraska. Fast food places here have been paying 11-13/hour since 2014, every place is understaffed, and prices are STILL rising just as fast as in places like California and Seattle
“这绝对是由于人工成本”
我的兄弟，我住在内布拉斯加州。自 2014 年以来，这里的快餐店一直每小时支付 11-13 美元，每个地方都人手不足，而且价格上涨速度仍然与加利福尼亚和西雅图等地一样快。

Support your local businesses, not these multibillion dollar conglomerates.
支持您的本地企业，而不是这些价值数十亿美元的企业集团。
local businesses arent open late, are sometimes just as bad (if not worst) and dont offer the same quick and easy solution, i hadnt been to fast food outlets in 20 years.
本地企业不营业到很晚，有时同样糟糕（如果不是最糟糕的话），并且不提供同样快速简便的解决方案，我已经 20 年没有去过快餐店了。
Local is hit or miss with its quality, inconsistent and just as expensive.
本地快餐企业的质量参差不齐且同样昂贵。
I work as GM at one of these places. Cost's about 40 cents to make a taco. They sell it for $1.40.
Over the last year they raised prices 40%. They only raised wages by 4%. Food cost's did not raise anywhere near 36%. Where's all that extra cash going? Profits. In fact the owners are so stressed for cash that they bought 2 new stores the last year.
This all ignores the fact our food quality has gone down drastically over the last 4 years to cheaper options, but they keep raising the prices. Edit: I also forgot to mention that we staff less people now and are required to put less of the daily sales to labor, and they never fix, or sometimes replace, equipment in the store anymore. They have the money, they just dont want to spend it unless absolutely necessary.
我在其中一个地方担任总经理。制作炸玉米饼的成本约为 40 美分。他们以 1.40 美元的价格出售。
在过去的一年里，他们提高了40%的价格。他们只提高了4%的工资。食品成本没有上升到接近36%的水平。这些额外的现金都去哪儿了？利润。事实上，店主的现金压力很大，以至于他们去年只开了 2 家新店。
这一切都忽略了这样一个事实，即在过去的 4 年里，我们的食品质量急剧下降，变成了更便宜的选择，但他们一直在提高价格。补充：我还忘了提到，我们现在的员工减少了，并且需要减少日常销售的劳动力，而且他们再也不会修理或有时更换商店中的设备了。他们有钱，但是除非绝对必要，否则他们不想花钱。
The 4 piece nugget from Burger King was 3.99. I was like, no thanks. I paid about 3.00 for a child size fries. It's 25.00+ per meal now.
汉堡王的4块鸡块售价3.99美元。我说，不用了，谢谢。我花了3美元买了一份儿童薯条。我甚至不想谈5个人。现在吃一顿要25美元多。
It's incredible how restaurants and fast food joints in Europe can pay government regulated wages just fine and keep normal prices without blaming the workers or extorting the customer with "tips", isn't it funny?
令人难以置信的是，欧洲的餐馆和快餐店可以很好地支付政府规定的工资并保持正常价格，而不会责怪工人或用“小费”勒索顾客，这不是很有趣吗？
McDonalds has to pay their workers $20 an hour to start in California. You think there will still be a $1 menu? All the food prices are up for companies, just like they are up for you.
麦当劳必须向员工支付每小时 20 美元的工资才能在加利福尼亚开始工作。你认为还会有 1 美元的菜单吗？所有的食品价格都上涨了，就像它们上涨了一样。
Sigh it's not increased wages for employees. Its the hike on what ceos pay themselves
唉，这不是给员工加薪。这是CEO们给自己的薪水的上涨。
I haven't eaten fast food in years...I cook everything at home bro
我已经好几年没吃过快餐了......我在家里做饭，兄弟。
Some fast food prices increased by about 50% in the past two months. Many websites aren't accurately showing the prices being charged in-store
过去两个月，一些快餐价格上涨了约50%。 许多网站没有准确显示店内收取的真实价格。
This is great ! Now, consumers have another justification (beside health) for NOT eating McDonald and any other fast food !
这太棒了！现在，消费者还有另一个理由（除了健康）不吃麦当劳和任何其他快餐！
Always taking a shot at labour, never investors.
总是对劳工出手，从不对投资者出手。
I used to buy McDonald's because it was cheap, nowadays, I haven't bought McDonald's in almost 3 years. Their prices are ridiculous.
我以前买麦当劳是因为它很便宜，现在，我已经快3年没有买麦当劳了。他们的价格是荒谬的。
If you don't buy it...doesn't matter how much they charge.
如果你不买它...就不用管他们收取多少费用。
There's nothing better than a big Mac though.
不过，没有什么比巨无霸更好吃的了。
I feel so sorry for your limited food experience. "There's nothing better than a big Mac" is probably the most pathetic thing I've heard in my life.
我为你有限的食物经验感到非常抱歉。 “没有什么比巨无霸更好的了”可能是我这辈子听到的最可悲的话。
the most popular burger in the world is the big Mac if you disagree then your opinion is simply in the minority. It is the best burger
世界上最受欢迎的汉堡是巨无霸，如果你不同意，那么你的意见只是少数。这是最好的汉堡。
McDonald’s CEO was paid $17.8 million in 2022. It would take a typical McDonald’s worker more than 1,200 years to make that amount.
麦当劳首席执行官在 2022 年的薪酬为 1780 万美元。一个普通的麦当劳工人需要 1,200 多年的时间才能赚到这些钱。
Because the right CEO can make or break 1200 jobs, easily.
因为合适的CEO可以轻松创造或减少1200个工作岗位。
started eating home cooked meals since last year. my diabetes is gone, skin cleared up, energy levels back up, libido back up, belly shrunk A LOT, sleep way better, wake up more refreshed, and saved a TON of money.
never looking to eat fast food, processed foods, sugar, etc. ever again. inflation ended up being a blessing in disguise
从去年开始吃家常菜。我的糖尿病消失了，皮肤变干净了，能量水平恢复了，肚子缩小了很多，睡眠更好了，醒来时更神清气爽，还节省了一大笔钱。
再也不想吃快餐、加工食品、糖等垃圾食品了。通货膨胀最终让我因祸得福。
All these corporations make BILLIONS in profits, yet always blame inflation, etc....
所有这些公司都赚取了数十亿美元的利润，但总是归因于通货膨胀等......
Yeah., this video feels a LOT like blaming consumers and employees rather than examining things like "Why are prices going up so much when costs aren't going up so much and profits and dividends keep rising much faster?"
是的，这个视频感觉很像是责怪消费者和员工，而不是研究诸如“为什么成本没有上涨那么多，利润和股息却上涨得更快？“
The other factor is that fast food is highly addictive. People who routinely ate and grew up on fast food as a part of their diet won't suddenly stop buying it just because it has become more expensive.
另一个因素是快餐很容易上瘾。那些经常吃快餐并将其作为饮食的一部分长大的人不会仅仅因为快餐变得更贵而突然停止购买它。
Love how these companies cite labor costs as the primary cause of inflation, when the truth is that greed is the true cause. We are suffering under a massive wave of "Greedflation".
喜欢这些公司如何将劳动力成本列为通货膨胀的主要原因，而事实是贪婪才是真正的原因。 我们正遭受着巨大的“贪婪膨胀”浪潮。
That is a real thing in California, though. We just had minimum wages specifically for fast food raised to 20 dollars an hour. This place is run by people who do not understand economics.
不过，这在加利福尼亚是真实存在的。我们刚刚将快餐的最低工资提高到每小时 20 美元。这个地方是由不懂经济学的人经营的。
Blame the labor for increase in prices but they never talk about how much the CEO's make in their salaries or the tax cuts that these businesses get. The fast food employee is trying to survive, the company is trying to make huge profits and blame others
将价格上涨归咎于劳动力，但他们从不谈论首席执行官的薪水或这些企业获得的减税。快餐员工在努力生存，公司在努力赚取巨额利润并责怪他人。
To be fair if you cut CEO pay that does virtually nothing concerning costs. Also, most fast food chains are franchises and are considered owned by small business owners. They don’t make a whole lot, considering the overhead costs.
客观地说，如果你削减CEO的薪酬，那对成本几乎没有任何影响。此外，大多数快餐连锁店都是特许经营权，被认为是由小企业主拥有的。考虑到间接成本，他们赚的钱并不多。
The reasons the prices are so high is that CEOs refuse to take pay cuts. Then they hear that the cost of ingredients is up five percent and they say, “that’s a great reason to raise the price by fifteen percent and make even more profit. Anyone asks why prices went up and we can say inflation. Don’t blame us, it’s inflations fault. We’ll be on yachts where you can’t reach us if you need us. Bye, bye now.”
价格如此之高的原因是CEO们拒绝减薪。 然后他们听说原料成本上涨了 5%，他们说：“这是将价格提高 15% 并赚取更多利润的好理由。 有人问为什么价格上涨，我们可以说是通货膨胀。 不要怪我们，这是通货膨胀的错。 如果您需要我们，我们将在您无法联系到我们的游艇上。 再见，再见。“
Mcdonalds charges $2.50 for a hashbrown. Its outrageous
麦当劳对薯饼收费 2.50 美元。太离谱了。
$2.99 for a hash brown in CA.
加利福尼亚州的土豆煎饼售价 2.99 美元。
It's definitely the cashier asking for $15 an hour and not the executives asking for another million.....
确定是收银员要求每小时 15 美元，而不是高管要求再提高 100 万美元薪资吗.....
Fast food prices are soaring because corporations are super greedy.
快餐价格飙升是因为企业超级贪婪。
People that eat there usually aren't very wealthy. So by increasing the price, fast food keeps the poorest even poorer.
在那里吃饭的人通常不是很富有。因此，通过提高价格，快餐使最贫穷的人更加贫穷。
In 1970 a McDonald's burger cost $0.28 ... in today's dollars, that is $2.31 ... but today a plain burger is $2.79
1970 年，麦当劳汉堡售价 0.28 美元......以今天的美元计算，即 2.31 美元......但今天一个普通的汉堡是 2.79 美元。
Terrible “journalism” blaming minimum wage workers for price gouging. You should be ashamed of yourself.
差劲的“新闻”指责拿着最低工资的工人哄抬价格。你应该为自己感到羞耻。
I stop earing at fast food restaurants not because of the price but the quality. Workers spend more time on their phone rather than doing their jobs.
我不再去快餐店，不是因为价格，而是因为质量。员工花更多的时间在手机上，而不是做他们的工作。
A few days ago, I went to Subway and got a 6-inch sandwich, bag of chips, and a medium soda for 15+ dollars, and they even asked for a tip at the register. Never again. I can make my own sandwiches for far less and better. People need to boycott fast food because not only you'll save money, but you'll also eat healthier. And if restaurants can't pay their employees a decent wage, they shouldn't be in business.
几天前，我去地铁买了一个6英寸的三明治、一袋薯片和一杯中杯苏打水，花了15美元多，他们甚至在收银台要求给小费。我再也不会见你了。我可以用更少的钱做更好的三明治。人们需要抵制快餐，因为不仅可以省钱，还可以吃得更健康。如果餐馆不能给员工支付体面的工资，他们就不应该继续经营下去。
You can’t even call it “Fast” food anymore. Wait twenty minutes to be served stale, cold garbage, or go to a sit down restaurant and get a hot, fresh meal for similar pricing, it’s brought to you with a smile. I hope every fast food joint goes belly up.
你甚至不能再称它为“快餐”了。等待 20 分钟即可享用陈旧的、冰冷的垃圾，或者去一家坐下来的餐厅，以类似的价格享用一顿热腾腾的新鲜饭菜，它会微笑着送到您面前。我希望每家快餐店都能倒闭。
Fast food places used to be fast and cheap. Are they fast anymore? No. Are they cheap? No. Ok, I am going to an actual restaurant with good food.
快餐店过去又快又便宜。他们现在还快吗？不。它们现在还便宜吗？不。好的，我要去一家真正的餐厅，那里有美味的食物。
Fast food has gotten to expensive that it’s now smarter to just buy at local restaurants. The prices are typically the same and I feel like I’m helping the local community by keeping cash local. Plus it feels healthier.
快餐已经变得昂贵，现在在当地餐馆购买更明智。价格通常是一样的，我觉得我通过将现金留在当地来帮助当地社区。另外，感觉会更健康。
Labor isn't the problem. It only makes up a small part of the cost.
劳动力不是问题。 它只占成本的一小部分。
Imagine these organizations, paying CEOs millions of dollars and complain about the labor cost for regular every day employees.They just wanna keep millions for themselves and not cut back on their salaries to keep employees.
想象一下，这些组织向首席执行官支付了数百万美元，并抱怨日常普通员工的劳动力成本。他们只想为自己保留数百万美元，而不是为了留住员工而削减自己的工资。
Anyone remember how you use to be able to buy the whole menu with just $10?
还有人记得你过去是如何用 10 美元购买整个菜单上的食品吗？
Fast food workers in the Europe make $20 an hour and prices are lower then in the US, this is just greedflation.
欧洲的快餐工人每小时赚 20 美元，餐品的价格却低于美国，这只是贪婪的通货膨胀。
Mcdonald's is ridiculously expensive and has reduced the size. No way you feel sated with one meal.
麦当劳贵得离谱，而且缩小了尺寸。一顿饭你还吃不饱。
It's not even that expensive if you use the app, you still get the same amount of food for $10
如果您在应用程序上消费，它其实没有那么贵，您仍然可以以 10 美元的价格获得相同数量的食物。
Why should people even eat at these places? its disgusting, not healthy at all and u still wanna pay $18 bucks for it?
为什么人们还要在这些地方吃饭？ 它令人作呕，一点也不健康，你还想为它支付 18 美元？
My wife and I stopped eating fast food about 6 years ago. We feel better, lost a ton of weight and have a motable increase in money monthly.
大约6年前，我和我的妻子停止吃快餐。 我们感觉好多了，体重减轻了很多，每个月的钱都有可观的增加。

I worked in fast food, 3 workers can make literally $10k of food an hour. I never understand where the profit margins went, but then i found out how much the owners make. It's modern day slavery, if they try to blame the rising costs on employees that's a lie.
我在快餐店工作，3 名工人每小时可以制作1万美元的食物。我从来不明白利润率去哪儿了，但后来我发现业主赚了多少钱。这是现代奴隶制，如果他们试图将成本上升归咎于员工，那就是谎言。
I don’t mind paying more for fast food so long as they pay their employees more. It’s something I have thought about for a long time.
我不介意为快餐支付更多费用，只要他们支付给员工更多的工资。 这是我考虑了很久的事情。
Simple solution, stop eating fast food! Try buying groceries and cooking at home.
简单的解决办法，别再吃快餐了！尝试在家买菜做饭。
That is not totally true. Most fast food restaurants are placing machines in place of people. So, that shows the price hikes aren't about employment. It's about greed.
这并不完全正确。大多数快餐店都在用机器代替人。因此，这表明物价上涨与就业无关。这是因为贪婪。
The US is finally catching up to Australian prices, we haven't had a meal under 10 dollars in 20 years
美国终于赶上了澳大利亚的价格，我们已经 10 年没有吃过一顿低于 20 美元的饭菜了。
When sales plummet because of it maybe corporations will cut upper management pay and lower prices .
We've forgotten supply and demand these last 20 years
当销售额因此而暴跌时，也许公司会削减高层管理人员的工资并降低价格。
在过去的20年里，我们已经忘记了供求关系。
I rarely eat fast food anymore…Mcdonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, etc. Prices are way out of hand for disgusting garbage food. I decided that I was not going to over-pay for disgusting food anymore. The only exception is In & Out Burger. If I lived in California, I would eat In & Out a lot.
我很少再吃快餐了......麦当劳、汉堡王、温迪等。对于令人作呕的垃圾食品来说，价格已经失控了。 我决定不再为恶心的食物多付钱了。唯一的例外是进出汉堡。如果我住在加州，我会经常吃这个品牌。
Corporates greed is the main reason for the fast food prices increase. The labor cost is only a part of the total cost of a burger. There is no reason why the labor cost is the main driver for the price increases.
企业的贪婪是快餐价格上涨的主要原因。 人工成本只是汉堡总成本的一部分。 劳动力成本没有理由成为价格上涨的主要驱动力。

LOL, blame wages when most states have a minimum wage under $10.
哈哈，当大多数州的最低工资低于 10 美元时，却责怪工资。

Don't understand why people are so shocked about all of this. The writing was on the wall when Congress decided to raise the minimum wage up. When that goes up, the restaurants are going to raise their prices up to make up for the loss.
不明白为什么人们对这一切如此震惊。当国会决定提高最低工资时，这封信就写在墙上了。当价格上涨时，餐馆将提高价格以弥补损失。
Fast Food is supposed to have two main purposes: quick and cheap. It's no longer cheap anymore, and if you take about 30 minutes to cook at home, people will have very little need to ever go to a McDonalds, Burger King, etc. These companies better find a way to get those prices down or they honestly might start going out of business
快餐应该有两个主要目的：快速和便宜。它不再便宜了，如果你在家做饭大约30分钟，人们就几乎不需要去麦当劳、汉堡王等了。这些公司最好找到一种方法来降低这些价格，否则他们可能会开始倒闭。
Wages go up and so does the price of everything. Personally I don't need the experts to explain this to me.....
I realize that atleast half of our society doesn't understand this concept.
工资上涨了，所有东西的价格也都上涨了。就我个人而言，我不需要专家向我解释这一点.....
我意识到我们社会中至少有一半的人不理解这个概念。
I stopped at Mcdonalds to get breakfast for me and my mom before a road trip.Hadn't ate there in a couple years... 2 bacon egg and cheese, 2 hash browns was almost 16 dollars. they are out of their damn minds!
在公路旅行之前，我在麦当劳停下来为我和我妈妈吃早餐。好几年没吃过饭了......2 个培根鸡蛋和奶酪，2 个土豆煎饼差不多是 16 美元。他们疯了！
