rain_gryphonMcDonald's pricing plans leak out.
McDonald’s three new sandwiches – all with a larger fillet and new potato bun – will start at $3.49 and top out at roughly $4.69, depending on the region, according to a U.S. franchisee who spoke on the condition of anonymity and a Credit Suisse analyst. [...]
For example, the franchisee told Reuters that Deloitte recommended a price of $3.69 for the spicy and crispy versions and $4.29 for the deluxe. But the person, who declined to be named, said they will mark up the menu price because of higher minimum wages in the area, and that they plan to charge $3.99 and $4.69 instead.
So, the way I read this, if you're being charged more than $3.49 for the Spicy and/or Crispy* sammiches, or more than $4.09 for the Deluxe, you're being ripped off.
*An adjective which I passionately hate. The word is "crisp", not "crispy". I will make an exception for the Vietnam War Era alliterative phrase 'crispy critters', to describe enemy soldiers burned to a crisp in a napalm strike.
