The most shocking part of the video was to hear that someone actually moved to Oakland.
No shit. I worked in west Oakland in the late 70's. Nothing changed except the drug of choice.
I moved there once..................once.
or that someone working at a fast food joint is making $22, 23 an hour thats wild
@@MMK86McDonald’s is paying 21 an hour starting wage in the Sacramento area. They post the signs on their drive through.
I moved out of Oakland in 2007 best choice I ever made 😅😅😅 I visit once in a while and it just looks like shit
To be fair, they kept their prices down faaaar longer than their competition. This was only a matter of time.
in a couple years we can all say the same thing about automation of these jobs! 'well, they DID all hold out for a while, but it was only a matter of time' - I'm amazed that 10k fast food workers have already lost jobs. And is just getting started! ...SO, do we fight for $25 now? Fight for $15 sounds so quaint these days... But, as that one guy in the video wondered, at the price he paid, he is not so sure it was worth it. At a certain threshold, you just become a Complete sucker.
Yep, Carl's Jr is pushing 17 bucks for a meal after tax. Even Weinerschnitzel was over 15 bucks for a meal early last year. Weinerschnitzel!
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Well, we all have our personal threshold for what we will and will no do, but, the old phrase 'There's a sucker born very minute' comes to mind...
They only did that to paint themselves as an angel of light. Money rules these businesses. Love of money is still evil business. Don’t forget that.

In and out is the only place where the teenagers are well trained and have amazing customer service skills
worth it!
@@RSmith-fb4sf I had a mini bad experience when they first opened the San Lorenzo store, but other than that they’ve been flawless. I also never saw that employee again. If you’re not pleasant to customers, In-N-Out gets rid of you quickly.
Chik-Fil-A
Not anymore. It seems to have gone down hill
Disagree. Amish teens are pretty well behaved. Never had any problems w/ them when buying Amish apple butter or Amish custard pies at their vendor locations.
Coming from an ex-InNOut employee, ill choose an INO burger over other fast foods when im in a pinch financially solely based on the fact on the quality you get compared to other fast foods.
You cant beat that nothing was previously frozen.
Five Guys, no freezers, great burgers and fries,
Keep voting 🗳️ for people like Newsome. This is the result.
Just eat at home folks , you can do it ,,, better for your health
Typical mason response
That’s what we do. We’ve pretty much completely cut eating out. We make everything at home even bread and yogurt.
Much cheaper if you quit voting democrat
@@Lumpia_In_TexasRepublicans hike prices.
Um, last I knew, Gavin Newsome is a Democrat. You are disengenous.@@lxXSuddenDeathXxl
So our governor promised higher minimum wages to a handful of ppl that cheered for him, and now they all ended up with less jobs and higher price costs for the rest of us. Nice work guys.
They make my minimum wage look underpay 😢.
And the the company just doubbles the food prices they did double your pay😮😅
@@RoseBud-fk4qg No company doubled food prices. If they did it was due to greed on the part of that company.
"handful of people"? What handful of people? These are front line workers trying to feed their families on wages that are just above minimum wage in one of the most expensive areas of the country. If the do not get pay increase then they end up getting public assistance funded by your tax dollars. Which do you prefer?
So if you can be trusted with fire, fry your own greaseburgers.
Who in their right mind moves from GA to Oakland ?? Who moved to Oakland PERIOD ? That must be a joke ?!
Ever been to the Oakland Hills? STAY STUPID BROTHER!
Ikr. From one trash state to another
Oakland is still very beautiful and has so many nice things in it aside from the huge crime problems in areas around it.
I visit my family who lives in Oakland and they got such a nice house and did a wedding a very nice church with beautiful gardens
Someone who has an active warrant in Georgia, and that person would fit right in in Oakland
@@soupdrinkerthank you! Oakland is a huge city, much bigger than SF. Most of it is beautiful, historic, great entertainment and restaurants. I am so sick of people who have NEVER been to Oakland giving shade. I’m guessing many of those people haven’t been out of their home town. Oakland has the best weather in Northern California.
Blame the Governor! Wait no, the idiots that voted him in are to blame.
Everyone deserves a livable wage not just the CEO
I's a BUGER, that's it, nothing else. What does the Governor have to do with a private company pricing their burger? Oh I get it you just don't like the person cooking the burger or the one serving you the burger to get a raise? Because why? In case you haven't noticed big companies across the US are reporting record profits, while laying off or refusing to pay their employees a decent wage. Look at what John Deere just did and maybe just maybe, you'll have a better understanding of what is actually happening as compared to the shiny object you're focused on.
The governor and the Democrat super majority in the state legislature.
Hey topfuel you are 100% incorrect, paying a high school student 22 bucks an hour has consequences.
@@bigfoot-id8bv Newsom DESTROYED San Francisco when he was Mayor there!! If he did that, what DUMMY would EVER vote for him to take power over California? But the voters did!! He HAS/IS continuing to destroy California, and he does NOT give a 'tinkers-damn' in so doing!
The quality is why I go there..and my respect for the Company for NOT SUPPORTING SLAVE LABOR. This Company will survive because they have done the right thing...Keep up quality food..You will more than survive this economy...And people will support you..Healthy people.
Slave labor? LOL!
Every time I go to fast food I ask the workers if the raise impacted your earning. 96% of the time they tell me they are bringing home less because their hours have been cut.
Nobody told me that, and I talked to many of the workers. But I guess it depends on the area you are in. In my area, most fast-food places already pay more than $20 to get people.
But, in and out, they have already paid more than $20, so the law is not why they raised their prices. A few McDonald's pay their employees close to $30 an hour to get people before the law was even thought of. Unfortunately, a lot of it is corporate greed. But if you look at the facts, all these companies have made more profits in 2023 than ever before.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@stephenludlum9746Ignorance is why people blame wage increases on price hikes. They just parrot what they hear on the news without stopping to think of their bias.
@@jlozano2615It’s basic economics. If the cost to make a product increases, the price of the product has to increase. Otherwise you are losing money.
@@jlozano2615 You are right; they believe what is pushed by the news. They don't realize the news, just repeating what these companies tell them, and they don't fact-check the truth.
But innout was already paying over the now minimum wage...
Great Point☝🏼
yea but they work a lot harder with higher standards. But now if mcdonalds, burger king, jack, etc now also pay the same, but workers can be more lazy and not be as serious, it could discourage in n out workers. "why keep working harder for same pay at mcdonalds where the job is more chill. Thats probably one of the reasons why in n out raised prices to account for inflation. The only people losing are middle class where they dont get any differential with all these minimum rate hikes.
Newsom's food inflation.
@@malin7919 brainwashed you are. Inwards you must look.
Imagine if you were above minimum wage and then minimum wage increased to what you worked hard to attain.

@@johnnynephrite6147 Exactly. 5 Guys -- never worth it.
who eats at five guys?
@@aaronbettinger8903 I did...once. Five Guys in Escondido closed long time ago.
What im more bothered on are grocery prices. $200 will usually get me a topped off cart full of groceries for an entire week for a family of 5. Now I get half a cart and spend $450-$600 weekly.
Right. And In & Out has to buy food products as well. Just think how much it's costing them. That is also being passed on to the customers.
Bet you voted democrat.
Maybe you should buy some rice and beans once in a while. To spend that much money you must be eating steak and prime rib every nite!
@DavidEssex-fe6mx wish I can do prime ribs.. I only do beef maybe once a month. Only drink water and do buy bulk bags of rice. Buy lots of fruits and veggies, they go out quick. Don't believe in breakfast. Only eat lunch and dinner. Everything is homecooked, eating healthy is expensive I guess.
Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
If the unemployment rate is able to remain steady while the Fed hikes and inflation falls back to target, a soft landing might be on the table
Don’t expect a soft landing. We know inflation still far from its 2% destination - the FOMC didn’t raise rates now, we can never fortell their moves these days

You’ll be eating fast food by the weekend.
@@joseh9021 yeah i hear my fellow americans say they dont eat out as much.. but 9/10 people I see in person are all obese.. lol
Exactly, @Jskaggs ... The high prices at fast food places, is what has made us QUIT EATING OUT. So, what we are doing is saving lot of money by learning how to COOK AT HOME. It is just TOO EASY to go online and look for COPYCAT RECIPES. My three secret words are "Google Copycat Recipes". And, we can easily cook stuff at home for $2.00 or $2.50, much cheaper than eating out.
@@iHadWaterForDinnerfast food is pure garbage. Cook at home and live longer.
Since the pandemic started, I completely stopped eating fast food 4.5 years ago. Rarely eat out at all. You’ll be so much healthier and leaner if you don’t eat out. Majority of my friends are overweight and eat a steady diet of this stuff.
Most of the people being interviewed are the problem. They'd be happy with $20 fast food meals?
yep!!
Exactly. Same people probably cry about the cost of living in the Bay. I know I did. That's why I left and have NEVER been happier. I use to be so proud to be born and raised in the Bay. I borderline hate this place now. I
You can tell they are not good with money management. Modestly speaking, if you eat breakfast at home but eat out for lunch/dinner, it's easily $1200 a month on food...that's $1200 after tax money. He apparently doesn't think it's an issue to spend that much money a month for fast food.
I can make 5 better burgers for under $20.
Unfortunately, the families that are on the lower end of the economic scale can’t afford the raise in prices.
“As long as it doesn’t go over $20 I’m fine”

these $20 minimums has to go back 2002 levels when prices were low & easy
@robertlopez6092
That's guys bank account is as big as his forehead.
Yeah... that comment is really scary that we start to normalize $20 for basic fast food. I suppose if you were to eat out 3 meals a day, then get ready to spend $1800 on food... how many of us are really in a position for that type of price tag.
@@_w_w_
You really shouldn't be eating fast food 3 times a day. That is not healthy.

I'm boycotting all fast food restaurants. 4 McGriddles at McDonalds $25 - outrageous
Not that I’d want to pay more but compared to other fast food InandOut is the GOAT. Fresh meat never frozen, Christian Values, clean and safe restroom. I’ll always support InandOut for making it important to provide for their employee family and their customer family ❤️✝️
💯
That guy is part of the problem, "as long as its not over $20" People paying the high prices wont help lower anything, the same goes for housing and cars.

If anything, skip the fries and soda.
Exactly, I always do. I always have water with me and the fries there are absolutely heinous and inedible, so no loss there.
..and the elephant in the room, too - LOVE In-n-Out, but, wow those have to be the worst fries on the market. But, you can also or learn to cook - the 'in n out' secret menu online 'animal style' etc. I've learned to emulate alot of my favorite dishes, and literally costs me like 1/3 of what I would now. even less than before Bidenflation ook over

Yes you can smell 👃 the grease from bocks away …..don’t know how anyone isn’t turned away by the stink
@@greggould4275Learning how to cook is great- but then learning how to shop goes with it.
Even though I love soda, I'll skip it because you can just get soda at the grocery store without any effort. It's arguably also the worst part of a meal that is already unhealthy. But if I'm going out to eat, I'm taking advantage of not having to wash, peel, cut and frying my own potatoes. And for me personally, there just aren't enough calories in a burger unless you stack your burger which I don't enjoy.
Gee. Who didn't see this coming? And now, fast food,..a luxury item many can no longer afford in the state of California. Four burger meals on a Saturday outing with the family plus California's gas prices higher than the rest of the country,..... could equal up to around a hundred bucks. A hundred,....for a burger and fries and a short ride around town. Think about it. The people who run this state and those that vote for them - this is your baby. It's on YOU! Business leaving the state and prices making others think or dream about leaving. The people who pay taxes - gone. Meanwhile, the gov. has told migrants to come into cali and he'll give'em free healthcare on our dime then lies about putting the guard on the border and getting tough. You can't make this stuff up. Vote these people out. Or don't vote at all. They're killing a once awesome state.
In n Out has always paid employees well and held the line on prices, made money, and is still the best burger deal in town- any town.
The quality gap between In-N-Out and McDonalds, burger King, wendy's is unmatched.
@@omi_god You're free not to patronize their business.

@@glasscleaner8970Speak for yourself. Fast food makes me feel Iike sh*t.
It’s not a necessity but it is insanely convenient especially with a busy schedule. Sometimes you don’t want to get home and cook.

Not Americans. They will crawl, roll, waddle their fat arses into get it. Fast food can charge $30 for a meal and they will be fine. Americans will complain but get in line.
They have always paid higher than minimum wage, even more than the current $20hr. And that guy who would pay $20 for a hamburger, kinda slants the report?
I had In-N-Out on Saturday when the place was packed, and the drive- thru line went down the block. The price increase seemed negligible, as compared to most fast food places where you get low quality food. Nothing beats In-N-Out when comparing price vs quality.
I can still feed my family with 40$ it’s fair!
Worst inflation since Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter was an honest President unlike Sleepy Joe from Scranton.
You should’ve turned that stimulus check away that Trump gave out then. Printing tons of money will cause inflation.

Absolutely. The only people that don't understand that are too young to have lived thru that. Every day was another catastrophe. Yeah, he was a good human being, but could NOT run a country.
I have never paid more for food in my lifetime. It's increased steady since 2020..
And strangely, corporate profits are at all-time highs. Companies are handing out bonuses to their upper tier management executives while complaining about having to give raises to the people who actually make money for the company.
I sure am happy my father taught me how to cook when I was a kid.
Is it good?
@@predalien1413 yes it is and I don't have to worry about what goes on behind closed doors at these fast food joints. I can remember working at one when I was a teenager that is why I only cook my own food at home every time I think about that crazy stuff going on at these fast food joints behind closed doors I want to vomit man that was some crazy crazy stuff it is even hard for me to watch someone I don't even know eating that crazy stuff.
im glad i know how to cook,own cook books, have a full sized functioning kitchen and a nice sized private backyard perfect for growing food in, planning on doing a lot this year, berries, peppers, garlic,onions,herbs of various sorts etc.
plus neighbors just got a dozen chickens and we get free eggs anytime, however much we want, breakfast? easy,cakes? easy, rural communities where everyone does their part are great.

They were already paying $20+ prior to the legislation. That doesn't make sense in terms of justifying the price increase.
It's a 15% increase. Try mathing.
I love In n out and they love us and their employees. I have no problem supporting a business that supports theirs.

So in the video you can see a double double meal is just over $10. Where else has a better deal? And even if there are cheaper places is it really as enjoyable as in n out? If you know of a better place let me know please.
Just make your own launch to take with you to work that's what I've been doing.

But when people make more money you get more customers. And stop calling it inflation it’s corporate greed

This does not make sense. In Out already pays their employees more than the mandatory minimum so how is it that the law affects them?
So when they raise prices for greed no body complained but they raise it for minimum wage increase and everybody goes nuts and blames the politicians trying to help working people. I'd rather pay more for the workers pay than for the CEO to but another Ferrari.

You are not spending $20 on a meal at in-out...dont lie
My wife and I went to McDonalds the other day and it cost us over $30.00.
19.99 only
50 years ago everyone was outraged when the minimum wage went from $1.65 to $2.00.
50 years ago gas was .25 cents per gallon and you could buy a house in the Bay Area for $15k. If you bought “way out” in Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, etc… houses were less than that.
They went for around 25k in San Ramon in the early 70s. About my dad’s annual salary then. How many people make 800k plus a year?
People are complaining about the price of an In-N-Out Burger meal how much you pay for the same thing you order at a McDonald's I'm sure it's definitely a lot higher and the quality of the food at In-N-Out is far better
If the CEO took a paycut, they could keep prices low. But she claims to be a Christian.
In-N-Out is adjusting their prices the same as the other fast food places so that they can continue paying higher wages and continue to offer a higher quality customer experience.....I'd wager that their overall corporate management costs are way lower than other fast food chains.... Yes, The OWNER is a Christian and operates the company by Christian Ideals, the first of which is to treat others (employees and customers) as she would choose to be treated.....I'd choose In-N-Out in a heartbeat even if they were more expensive than their competition!
In & out worth it they are great!
$13.16? Are you kidding? Compared with other fast food joints that aren't nearly as good? Fox, can you stop with these rage bait stories, please?

Who's complaining about a double double, fries, and drink for $11?? Still a great value. People acting like everything needs to be same price as 10 years ago.
When I got my first job, I was earning minimum wage, which was 4.25. I was excited! I was also in high school! People shouldn’t expect to live on minimum wage.
Boy cott in and out IMMEDIATELY !!!!
However, In & Out said it doesn't affect them when the law changes because they usually already pay employees over $20. So, how do they say it relates to the law? It is called corporate greed. The law had nothing to do with it; they already paid their employees an over-minimum range. The reporter was too stupid to ask them about that.
I am not fine with it. So I don't get soda. I just get ice water and then get some soda :)
That’s theft
Thanks for your confession of committing a felony.
if you’re impressed by their hamburger, you’re a simpleton
How about the big shots/CEOs/Wall Street take a pay cut. Raising prices is ALWAYS the go to move. None of the people sucking up the money and NOT working want their pay cut 🤬

1 meal almost pays for 1 employee for 1 hour. We're getting ripped.
The starting pay in CA is now over $20 an hour but the highest worker wage is still only ~$30. Yes the workers are initially paid well but there are lots of people behind you preventing the long term worker from getting a higher " living wage" they want. Mgr are paid the best but with a non franchise model , only 5 are opened each year. I hear the Utah workers are only paid starting at $11.
The same people complaining anout price hikes are the same people who voted for these democrat politicians and governor who raise the cost of doing business in California
“Khalil Coleman just moved to Oakland from Georgia…..”
Ummmm…..why??
After 51 years of beating my body up eating this crap I stay far away from all fast food. Exercise five days and week and don’t even crave it. It’s a good thing as it’s absolutely ridiculous how expensive it is and I put that money towards eating healthy!
People need to discuss why the minimum wage is over $20. I don't blame IN and Out, and I won't spiral into the usual get Newsom bit, but inflation/shrink inflation and when they eluded to the cost of living, the focus needs to start shifting to endlessly printing money (or raising taxes/fines at the state level) to continue business as usual (or worse 'build back better' or other redistribution schemes) at both state and federal levels is unsustainable. The cost of your hamburger combo is just a tiny glimpse of that. Neither In and Out nor it's employees are getting rich off this 'hike'. It's an adjustment based on trillions of dollars in spending and your dollar being worth less today than it was 5 or 10 years ago (or it will be 5 or 10 years from now).

It's still cheaper than anywhere else. They also have been paying people well for years. I live in AZ and a double double is $5.55 which isn't bad. In-n-out is one of the few fast food places actually worth the price anymore.
I’m shocked, shocked that there are people in the Bay Area stressing out over 20 cents for an In-N-Out burger. Seriously, if you can afford to live here, fast food is about the most affordable part of living.
Also, the economy isn’t terrible, which is why that drive through line is insane.
In N Out used to be more expensive than McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr, or others.. but I always felt the quality was better so it was worth the extra cost. Now it’s better and cheaper 💯
They went up on January 1st. The employees got a $1 an hour raise. Then again up in April. The employees did not get the raise then. Did it go up in the last week?
I spend $25-50 a day while I am in Cali for work 3 weeks a month at In-N-Out. I would hate to think I have to cut them back to 1 time a day because they jumped up the prices a 3rd time this year.
I haven't had fast or processed food in years. Not sure why people would eat that stuff now a days. I understand years back when it was low cost. But it's not worth it for cost or health at all in any way these days. Go to a grocery store and make something yourself.
I don't eat fast food for health reasons but I've noticed drive thru lines at a local In-N-Out seem to be longer while those at McDonalds and other burger chains have disappeared.
My wife and I eat at In-and-Out in Texas for less than $20 for two meals. I read about the increases in California more than a week ago and it looks like, considering all economic facts as well as food quality and quality, it's still a great deal.
In & Out is worth it. The quality and customer service is great 👍
In and out employees already got over $20 per hour. So why is in and out increasing the prices?
I'm surprised anyone could feel the repercussions of a price hike , because In N Out always had the freshest food made fresh , always hot, at more than fair prices . Even with the price hike you can still feed your family without going broke.
Price gauging big time! Wages in the 1990’s at this restaurant were 12-14$ an hour so it went up 30% while prices went up 300%. Employees wages are very low now. It’s terrible 😢
The Food is Delicious and The Quality of service is the Best in California. They deserve it!
I combat the inflation by only getting the sandwich by itself and opting to drink free water.
Why is there sticker shock?
We all knew this would happen when you’re stupid enough to raise the minimum wage to $20.
What do you think the businesses are going to do by necessity?
Everything is going up so your raising the minimum wage is just artificial it’s a mind game.
So now their prices have "DOUBLE DOUBLED".
