25 dollar hamburgers? That sounds so strange.
- jimmaswell 5y agoCould be AUD but that's still $18. Australia has a high COL.
- InitialLastName 5y agoPlus if more of the tip is baked into the price, that's a standard-NYC-fare $15 hamburger with a 20% tip.
- valarauko 5y agoGenuine Q: is $25 a lot for a burger in a restaurant (including tax, like in Australia)? I ask because I see burgers in mid range restaurants for $14-$20 here in NYC, and then there's the 8.825% tax. 25 AUD is ~ $18 USD, which seems about right.
- postingawayonhn 5y agoIt depends on the establishment. Grilld is a popular mid-range burger chain and their burgers range from AUD $9 to $16.90 (USD $6.60 to $12.40). All advertised retail prices in Australia include 10% GST (good and services tax). At a more formal restaurant you will likely find a AUD $25 burger but that's about the top end for burger prices.
- valarauko 5y agoI was thinking more along the lines of a non-chain establishment like a restaurant, since that's the impression I got from the ancestor comment - they're referring to table service. A burger chain like Shakeshack has burgers in the range of $6-11, pre-tax.
- postingawayonhn 5y agoGrilld does do a limited table service. You order at a counter (or on your phone) but orders will be bought to your table. The wait staff will check up on you but if you don't want that there's a stick on each table that you flip over.
