    $3.70 adjusted for inflation is $5.11.

    A double double now costs $6.35-$6.50 (depending on your location)

      I’m not familiar with In-N-Out, but I would honestly be ok with this if it meant that in 2016 they weren’t paying a living wage and now they are.

      I know that’s probably just wishful thinking though.

        I don’t know about your definition of “living wage,” but In-n-Out has a long-standing reputation for paying decent and above-market wages, both in 2016 and today.

        I would guess that most of the current price premium over inflation is attributable to the current record high beef prices owing to a record low North American cattle herd.
