This is simply the result of greed from the owners. McDonald's in Denmark has had lower/same prices as the US depending on currency exchange rate while giving full benefits and higher salaries to their workers. McDonald's Denmark is rated among the best places to work.
The difference is that the franchise taker doesn't get to underpay workers to prop up their own compensation. If they want higher compensation, they'll have to work for it and expand.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI ate McDonald's in Aarhus once (2006) and remember it being even more expensive than Switzerland, where I was living at the time. These days, big macs are expensive in the USA (we paid $6.50 in Seattle yesterday for just one big mac), I'm pretty sure that is competitive Denmark today, right?
- martin8412 3y agoA Big Mac in Denmark as of July 2023 costs 38DKK, which with today's currency conversion rate comes to $5.46. DKK is pegged to EUR, so the conversation rate follows the EUR to USD fluctuations.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, I think the Euro was much more dear in 2006 compared to the Swiss Franc. Now it is very much the opposite.
