Is the difference in minimum wages between Pullman and Moscow reflected in the prices at McDonald's?

I rarely go to MacDonald’s, but seems that the last time I did, I ordered a Big Mac, a large fries, and maybe a drink, and I think it almost amounted to $9.00 or something. Whatever, I was still hungry after I ate it. For roughly the same moolah you could go to the Super China Buffet and get all you can eat of (probably) more healthful and arguably better tasting food. I would suggest that the min wage short-order burger joints have fare is already way overpriced, and they should be paying their employees $20/hour anyway at the prices they currently charge. But—as they’ll tell you—I’m no business man .

And, gosh, remember when back around 1968 you could get four burgers for $1.00 at some roadside joints off the Interstate? –and,  if you like catchup, they weren’t half bad either. … ah… but enough nostalgia already. The workers there were probably getting $ 0.75/hour or were volunteers or doing mandatory community service. ;-)
