One person said: I paid $23 the other day at Saladworks soup and a salad insane.

A second wrote: Lol McDonald’s has been expensive for years now. Definitely not worth it. For the same price, I can go to Bubba Gumps at the beach with a nice view.

A third commented: Wait till California's new minimum wage kicks in at over 20 per hour. The 20 an hour will not be enough to eat at McDonald's.

Someone else said: I stopped going, too expensive now, and the same low-quality food. Better food elsewhere. They lost their value, but clearly don't care.

A second wrote: Where is the sweet tea $1.29 for a large??!! I work at McDonald’s it’s $2.13 at my job.

Another commented: I work at a McDonald’s and people ask what’s on the dollar and get mad at me when I say nothing. I’m sorry I don’t make the prices.
