I don't think the wage increases are the biggest input to the increase in sandwhich pricing. Some random Quora answer says that you might see 50-120 orders served at peak per McDonalds employee. Increasing the price by... what, 50 cents? Is already looking at an extra $25-$60. Peak hours of course, but given that the McDonalds business model is mostly "sell drinks at pure profit, sell food at cost", price changes at best are just linked to raw materials costing more, and other expenses. Cynicailly: most of that price increase is not landing in workers pockets. Some other random website states that wages are 20% of a McDonald's franchisee's costs. So I bet a part of the cost is for wages, but most of it is probably about everything else.
