A social media stir was caused by a TikTok video showcasing a $25 McDonald's meal deal in Southern California, igniting discussions on the impact of the state's recent minimum wage increase for fast-food workers. The video highlighted a 40-piece Chicken McNugget meal with two large fries costing $25.39, raising eyebrows over the exclusion of a drink. This price point became a focal point for debate, with some attributing it to the wage hike from $16 to $20 an hour. Comparatively, users from other states shared lower prices for similar meals, sparking further conversation. Despite the controversy, McDonald's USA clarified that prices vary by location, as determined by franchisees, and emphasized their commitment to providing value through various offers. This comes as the fast-food industry in California adapts to wage changes, with some businesses reevaluating operations ahead of the implementation.
