Hardly anyone pays the minimum wage though. We're at a point where "McDonalds" type jobs start at easily twice that.

I still see federal minimum or close to it for fast food when I go through smaller places (central, midwest, etc).

"McDonalds" in cities starts at $15-25/hr because those cities set a higher minimum wage.

Not true. I live in North Carolina where the minimum wage is still the federal minimum wage ($7.25). In the rural parts of the state (low COL) McDonalds is still advertising $10/hr, and in the area I live it’s $12-$14. Many stores and fast food places are advertising $15 and higher.
