Corporations realized a few years ago that as long as they have a recognizable brand that they don’t have to actually have a good or affordable product anymore. You see this with chips and other luxury foods like pop.
Nothing will change until their bottom line gets utterly destroyed

Look at it this way. When the minimum wage was RAISED from 5.15 to 7.25 an hour the 2 cheeseburger meal was $2.99. That’s less than half of an hours work.

Now minimum is still 7.25 and that combo is easily over $7.25
