Price increases at McDonalds Japan

Prices will rise on 15 items from 10 to 30 yen. About 15 cents to about 40 cents about.
Currently hamburger is 110 yen. About $1.17. Not worth it.
Wages here start around 8 bucks an hour.

I hate to say this but if oil continues to increase everyday house hold items will follow. McDonalds and Starbucks both have increased their prices here but I am no expert on the prices at McDonalds. I checked prices a couple of months ago and you could buy a Cheese Burger set for 99 Baht. The set had fries, drink and the burger. The same thing will now cost you 117 Baht.. 30 to 32 Baht for the dollar is the normal exchange rate.

Starbucks has always been over priced IMO but everything in the last two months has gone up from 15 to 20 Baht. I am a gold card member and have stopped going as a one person protest !! hahahah

The price of stuff in the states has gone insane IMO and the pain for everyone world wide is going to increase before all the drums of war cease. Maybe this is the beginning of the great reset where you will own nothing because the majority can not afford anything ?

Gasolene now is expected to hit 8 bucks a gallon soon. Japanese govt. just announce a 30 percent increase of many items. What is strange, imported whiskey is still very cheap.
Wages are low here. Average income now is 20 to 30 grand a year. Yes some incomes are much higher but overall income is low.
My Japanese pension is only 200 bucks paid every two months. no bs

All of these price increases just seem like more and more corporate greed. McDonalds Japan made $280,000,000 in profit in 2021, with record profits for McDonalds globally.

I don't know about Starbucks in Japan specifically, but globally, they also had record profits.

I know that's the point of the corporation in a capitalist system, to make more and more profits, but someone needs to reboot the simulation before everything crashes.

It's hard to find anything that hasn't went up in price the last six months.
2 x 4's are $8 again.
Gas is $4 and going up

Is that profit or revenue?
What's the percentage of profit?

Any business that doesn't average at least 6% profit annually might as well close it's doors...

Honestly the biggest offenders are businesses like apple and Google.

If you haven't bought extra food, lots of it, you'd better be friends with captain hunger.

There is so much yet to come....

Worse for the UK where I am.

Inflation is about 8%
Price cap on energy ends in April and no one knows how high it'll go!
Historical levels of poverty.
Poor households losing income.
Pay as you go customers about to be shafted.
Energy companies all dying.
Prices already up about 20%
Housing market about to collapse and the GOVERNMENT just approved a £2,200 pay rise for April.

They want this to happen and the government are doing everything they can to make it worse, they're going to maximise the pain..... They're also trying to foment violence so that they can squash us like ants.

The free world is over.

Canada posting in.

Gas: $1.67 a litre. So much for being the 3rd largest proven oil reserve in the world. Americans buy Canadian oil, ship it to the states, refine it and still sell it cheaper than the petro Canada across the street from an oil refinery.

McDonald’s: attack on the poor, a Big Mac combo with large fries and double cheeseburger on the side, $16.

Thank you all you liberals, in 1 year managed to obliterate the economy while saying everything is fine while Ukraine is reporting women being raped.

I guess Nancy and Joe have a tough decision, ban Putin’s Netflix account or not.

I dont know what oil they use to fry their food, but russia and Ukraine produce 60 percent of the world's sunflower oil.

That could cause more increases.

It's good to know that when times are hard the big companies that make billions from us keep on making billions from us.

That is a cheap f'ing hamburger. Are you sure it's made from meat?

McDonalds in US? Up to $15 per hr

I'm in Canada, too. Everything has been increasing in price for months. Gas prices have always been a scam. Especially in provinces where there is "regulation".

As for MacDonalds... I don't know who would need a Big Mac Meal with a double cheeseburger on the side, but yeah, the price increases are a grab.

Liberals, PC, in Canada they're all the same, the only difference is who's Dad is screaming about it on Facebook. People have been totally duped into viewing our political system through an American lens. I don't really see what that has to do with Ukranian women being raped, considering that before this war started, 26% of women in the Ukraine reported that they'd been violently physically or sexually assaulted by their partners in their lifetime.

In Canada, 30% of women report having been secually assaulted outside of intimate relationships at least once since the age of 15. Sexual assault, rape, etc. is endemic all across the world. It doesn't have much to do with Canada's government, they all ready won't enforce harsh punishments for rapists in their own country.

Well McDonald’s is vastly more expensive where live… junior chicken is 2.69….Big Mac is like 7-8$just for the hamburger.

I can actually go the the local none franchised sports bar for a sit down meal their house buyer with bacon cheese and onions, easily 2-3times the size of a quarter pounder, with more fries then I can eat with bottomless ice tea. The total bill 18.50 after tax, same price as a Big Mac or papa burger combo.

Fast food has almost priced itself out of business.

That's the foundation of the American Fatty Fatso unfinished food pyramid that we're trying to export globally. At the top is the All Seeing Eye of 'you want fries with that?'.

Construction material cost is curtailing new home builds and even remodeling in some areas.

We don't eat at McDs very often, the buns seem to sit in my gut like a chunk of lead. It doesn't digest very easily. If I just ate at McDs, I would be skinny because if your stomach and gut is full of undigestible food, you can't eat, yet you are hungry as hell.

BK got a little better, but prices have risen, the dollar menu went up to a buck twenty nine on the burgers and chicken jrs. I won't pay a lot of money for junk food. The wife used to get a bacon cheese burger and fries and I used to get a bacon cheese burger and a chicken sandwich...four twenty four with tax....it went up to five sixty something now, and it is not worth that for junk food. We can make a good small burger with fries at home each, for five bucks with grassfed beef and homemade fries. Way better than what is sold at the burger joints. But we can't put the bacon on them, that goes for our cat, he might bitch if we eat some of his bacon.

Prices are up at both McDonald's and Burger King in the U.S., or at least that is what I had read. I do not eat that crap.

If I was still living in Japan, I would be buying ground wagyu from the store to make burgers before ever considering a trip to McDonalds.

Before I ran off and joined the Army, I was a District Manager at McD's (benefit of owning a car, I guess). Back then the unit price of everything was less that 2¢ ... with two exceptions ... McGrill Cleaner and Special Sauce. Never could figure why the special sauce cost so much. And that damned McGrill cleaner ... worth every penny!!

Man ... I could tell you some good war stories about McDonalds. I got fired by a guy carrying a Ronald McDonald ID Card (sh!t you not). Still blacklisted. Ya know when you leave the service the first thing most people wanna do is find a job where they "can quit" the first time the boss looks at ya sideways. I'm here to tell ya ... McDonalds has a looooonnggg memory. Wouldn't take me back even as a cook.
