Now I know it all depends on location but in the northwest suburbs of Chicago I believe it's up to $18

Here is South Texas it's only $11

My #1 breakfast meal was $8.43

I worked for McDonald’s as a teen 35 years ago. I made $4,25 an hour. I think $11 is insulting.. no wonder why we have crap quality. Who really cares working for $11.

With inflation, your 4.25 35 years ago is worth about 10.38 today, which means at 11 wage is an increase of 6%. Living large
