Everybody Calm Down, In-N-Out’s Double-Double Isn’t That Much More Expensive | Eater LA
"I noticed social media and national outlets resurfacing that a Double-Double combo meal at In-N-Out recently rose above $10 and now costs $11.44 after tax for a Double-Double with fries and a drink. The combo’s price has climbed steadily—$8.59 after tax in 2020, $9.14 in 2021, and $10.68 in mid-2023—and the latest hike was tied to AB 1228 (which raised California’s minimum wage for large chains). A company spokesperson confirmed employees now earn between $20 and $23 and said prices were increased by about $0.25 as of April 1, depending on location (only about a 2 percent rise), and the chief operating officer said prices were raised incrementally to accompany the pay raise and to maintain quality standards; compared with other large fast-food chains in Southern California, In-N-Out’s increases have been relatively small." - Mona Holmes
