Ironic or just a coincidence that McD's is investing in, and using this market as the test bed for reshaping their future. In Australia, their workers make at least DOUBLE what they are typically paid here in the US for front line jobs. Not only is the price of the Big Mac still the same, within a few pennies, but apparently profits are so good they can invest in this innovation there, rather then here in the US.

Cost of living in Australia is unbelievably high! Movie tickets - $25 US. I complain about $12 here. But their costs are higher across the board! Middle class families pay for nannies for assistance from all over the world - the U.S. in particular - because daycare costs are so high! They had rather transport, board, and salary a nanny than use daycare. Why? Because it is cost effective!
I cannot believe such ignorance such as your post has received so many comments.... Perhaps because it is so outlandishly ridiculous? Easy target? I have no idea....
Cost of living shifts from town to town and city to city. But the fact remains that McD's pays DOUBLE what they do in the States, but still sell their product at the same price.
So if your cost of living is really that high down under, then McD's is only that much more of a bargain when you need to eat.
