>I don't think this proves anything at all

It absolutely disproves the statement "McDonald's where minimum wage is $15 don't really charge that much more than the places where it's $7.25"

McDonalds charges >50% more in this comparison of $15 vs. federal minimum wage locales.

I'm not making any claims whatsoever about why the price is higher in NYC. I just want people to stop relying on the canard "McDonalds prices are similar everywhere" during this debate.

Fair enough. You're right, and my response was attacking a straw man argument that you never made - sorry about that.
