The last time I went to 5 Guys, I got a double bacon burger, small fries, and a small drink, and it came to $24 and change. I will never go back, despite the fact they have the best fries. Their burgers are only slightly better than average.
I can go to Chilis or Outback, and get a real burger and fries, and even with a drink and tip, it’s about $16. Still too expensive for daily lunch, but it’s a lot better.
I’ve been hearing that 5 Guys is struggling, and I’ve seen them closing around me. They seem to be starting a death spiral.
I agree, not sure why everybody assumed I didn’t think people didn’t deserve a living wage. I do. But at the same time be prepared to pay more for things because we all know that corporations will pass along the better wages to the consumer. God forbid the ceo make less and not making record profit
Way to demean people busting their ass for your lazy ass who can’t cook for themselves. You realize these people work in stressful situations and aren’t just “flipping the burger” right? They deserve a living wage.
I never said they didn’t deserve a higher wage but people complain about price of things. If you want living wages for all you need to be prepared to pay for it
Where is that normal, though?

I had the same experience, haven’t gone there in years because why would I pay more than double for the same quality of food as their competitors?
I’m at 18.26 for a double bacon cheese, small Cajun and regular drink.
That’s a lot of food as well. Like a meal and a later snack to finish it off.
Coupons are great, last time I went I got 2x little cheese and fries for like 10 bucks.
In Ca they have to pay the people flipping the burger $20 plus an hour so with that prices go up. Also price of beer is outrageous
That’s awesome! Should be more, but a good start. Better than revising child labor laws.
I think In and out starts at $23/ hr so it’s a start
Minimum wage should absolutely be a livable wage. Go direct your comments to the billionaire class stealing all the wealth.
