Wage hike fries food prices
By Liz Musser
Kansan staff writer
Whether flipping burgers or eating them, people in the fast food world can feel the minimum wage increase kicking in.
The recent 50-cent increase in minimum wage meant a pay increase for many fast-food employees. However, the higher salaries also mean something else — more expensive burgers and burritos.
Burger King fans will find that the combo meals, which formerly cost $2.99, now range in price from $3.29 to $3.49.
Doug Peck, local franchise manager for Burger King, said that the chain raised the prices about a month ago in anticipation of the minimum wage increase. Although most employees at Burger King make more than minimum wage, everyone's salary was increased. Peck said.
"Minimum wage, in a way, is a mindset," he said. "The benchmark has been raised, so everything has to go
up. It's a ripple effect."
Taco John's also has raised some of its prices. Duke Naipohn, district manager, said 5 percent of the menu items were more expensive. The price of the super combo burrito rose from $1.79 to $1.89, he said.
Naipohn said that the increase in minimum wage had been partly responsible for the price increase.
McDonald's slightly raised most of its menu items. For example, a small coffee that once cost 52 cents now is 59 cents.
"All of our employees make well above minimum wage, so we only had to raise a few people," he said. "But we hadn't raised prices in three to four years, so it was time."
Mike Kidwell, Lansing senior and salaried manager for the McDonalds at 901 W. 23rd St., said that customers who came in everyday had noticed the new prices, but that occasional customers were not as savvy.
"The regulars say it as a statement, 'You raised your prices,' Kidwell said. "But the other people come in

and ask, 'Hey, did you raise your prices?"
Rich McVeigh, Blue Anchor, N.J. sophomore, said that although he went to fast-food restaurants about twice a week, he had not noticed the price increases.
"I'm not too thrifty when it comes to fast food," he said. "It's usually late when I go there. I'm hungry and I just want food."
