$17 for a Burger King Whopper Meal in California.
This is what happens when you make the minimum wage $20, Gavin Newsom.

So that shoots a hole through $70 for a family of four to each have a burger.
Lol... Who’s kidding who?
Now I’m craving a chocolate Whopper.
(And have you noticed the fast-food workers seem to just slap things together these days and not care a wit about the food quality? I got two overpriced tacos with hardly anything in them recently.)
Yep, I was in Taco Bell a while ago and ordered a box of them. When I got home I opened them up. They weren’t even half filled. They had more lettuce than meat.
It’s only $17 if you pay it. Consider the savings if you don’t, money and health
True!
I can get a full meal at my local mexican restaurant for that and it is 10 times better and they serve margaritas
>It’s not an airport.<
Pretty sure this is the airport Burger King near Gate E2; Terminal 3.
Some people will, but enough to stay in business? We'll see soon enough.
For what it’s worth, I just looked at the on-line menu prices at two Burger Kings in the greater Bay Area. A large Whopper combo meal is priced between $13.49 and $14.29
What do they call a Whopper?
I don’t know, I didn’t go into Burger King.
“It’s not an airport.”
Then, where is it?
Yep. No doubt just about everything in CA is overly expensive but airport terminal restaurants are notoriously expensive and not really a good example. I’m sure the regular outlets will soon be right up there though. Everything is only getting worse there.
“A meal of 9 oz baked salmon with broccoli spears, house salad and freshly made bread is $27 in Florida including tax. I tip $5.”
My wife eat out at this one family run restaurant here in Kumamoto , Japan once a week . I have 8 pieces of sushi for ex。( salmon , tuna , amberjack , scallop , sea bream , salmon eggs , sea urchin , and octopus . I drink a 180ml of sake with the meal . Wife has simmered sea bream set meal which inc. rice , miso soup , veggie and one other dish which varies . Drink green tea . While I’m finishing my sake she orders a small dish pf vanilla ice cream . Total bill is ....$ 27 !
Sounds like a good deal 👍
They really ought to raise their prices ! ; )
This will fuel the drive to further automation of the fast food industry.
1 lb of 80/20 hamburger about 6.50 in my neighborhood...4 large hamburger buns for about 4 bucks. Lettuce, onions ,tomatoes in the amounts supplied with ff burger about 1.50...store bought fries about 3.00...gas to cook..about 0.5 bucks, ketchup, mayonnaise about 1 buck. About $17.00 bucks for 4 burgers and fries +24 oz soda from 2 liter bottle about 0.75...total 19 bucks for 4.
Taste better ..meat is better and relatively fresh...
4 meals vs. a meal from who knows how clean the food preparer is...not even close...in value...if one buys in bulk, even better value...
P.S. Newsom is a total sleazebag. God is watching.
Used to be a big burger ..decent big size. I almost never go there. Food quality ratio vs price is less than 0.5.They should go bankrupt.
