I haven’t been to McDonald’s in a few years but I stopped into one for breakfast on a recent road trip and discovered that a single hash brown is now $2.50 plus tax!
Realistically, a hash brown probably should cost that much when you consider the number of people involved in creating, transporting, and serving it to you but I don’t think we’re seeing wages support that.
People only caring if it personally affects them is a part of how it got this bad in the first place.
