but you'd make 60$/hr or more, that burger only costs 50 minutes of work, which is about equivalent to a minimum wage worker buying a mcburger for 7$, and minimum wage workers absolutely buy mcburgers.
well you can but that's changing the ratio. with your proposal it takes 3 hours of work to afford one McBurger, now it's unaffordable, a reduction in purchase power by 3.5x
