McDonald’s $25 ‘deal’ goes viral, sparks debate over California’s minimum wage increase: ‘Your new normal’
NY Post
A viral social media video about a $25 McDonald’s “deal” recently sparked an online debate about California’s minimum wage increase.
A TikTok user who posts videos under the username @shannon_montipaya shared the video on Mar. 27.
She was in the drive-thru of a Southern California McDonald’s location when she saw a sign for a 40-piece Chicken McNugget meal deal, which also included two large fries.
The price of the meal bundle was $25.39 – including sales tax, it would come to roughly $27.
In the video, the social media user lamented that the meal didn’t even include a drink.
“Okay, so it’s $25.39 for 40-piece nuggets and two large fries,” she said.
