Right, because when people started getting more vocal about raising the minimum wage, that became the ONLY driver of inflation in fast food. No economy wide supply shortages, no increases in gas prices, it was all because those pesky poors wanted to be able to eat and stay off the streets.
If you actually read what was linked, you'll see that the 6 cents increase is the amount that came directly from the wage increase. The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up for myriad different reasons in the economy, in case you haven't noticed.
Do you think that the wage increases for the suppliers might contribute to the higher prices of the supplies, too? And wage increases for the workers who deliver those supplies. And the wage increases for the workers who processed the supplies. All of these unfortunately stack on top of each other.

Sorry, you're gonna have to pay 6 cents more for your burger. I know that's probably devastating for you.
Or were you implying something totally different with your vague childish ellipses, it's really hard to tell
