No problem, as salaries also trippled in that time

Maybe not tripled, but making 7.25-10/hour was pretty common in 2008. The standard today is 15-20/hour at fast food.

I’m aware this doesn’t justify tripling the price. Even 3x wages would not triple the cost of the burger.

Yet $7.25 is still the federal minimum wage today
