What reasons should justify fast food reasturaNTs to raise prices?
If any of their costs go up, they will probably raise prices–that means if their rent goes up, they might raise prizes. If the cost of their ingredients goes up, their prices might go up. If the state raises the minimum wage, their labor costs go up and, assuming they don’t hire less people (which raises unemployment, which is why minimum wage is stupid) then they’ll likely raise their prices. There could really be any number of reasons.
