The Dollar menu still cost a dollar and most things seems to cost about the same as any other McDonnalds..
Meanwhile here in central FL.. the Dollar menu still costs a dollar and most things cost the same as any other McDonalds but they pay their employees here 7.65 to start.. (considering FL is a right to work state and wages are low, you see Adults working at McDonalds here because they don't get paid much better elsewhere for basic labor related jobs)
What is the difference? In one location the store makes a bit more profit per employee vs the other.
Wages really don't drive up per product cost very much in most businesses..

You have no idea if the store is making a profit or not....
It is also supply and demand, as Many stores are now raising pay ABOVE min wage to get better workers, I assume..
Heck even in my state and even in my town different mcdonalds charge different prices... Sure its only about $.25 on items, but you never get the same total for same items at different places.
I am in a right to work state and the pay $9-$9.50 to START and my state is a very low cost to live state..
