I am getting really really sick of the people that insist paying a living wage will cause the price of a Big Mac meal to $50. I do not understand how someone could be this deluded.
A Big Mac meal in Toronto, Ontario (where I’m from) is $12.29AUD. A Big Mac meal in NSW Australia (where I live now) is $11.85AUD.
The minimum wage here is $20.33. The minimum wage for my position is $27.91 and I work in food service.
