vintagewino posted : In Momtario, fast food under $4 only carries GST (5%) only. Once you get to $4 or more, HST (13%). If all you got was that measly order of fries, you were likely looking at $2.95 for the fries + $0.15 for GST = $3.10.
Yeah, $1.89 in the states; add ~ 50% ('convenient exchange') to convert to Canadian and there ya be... @2.83, so hell, let's make it $2.95.
YYZLHR is quite right: the days of cheap fast food is done.
Just wait until January 2, when the minimum wage jumps to $14/hr from $11.60, than another $1 January 1, 2019.
Had a couple of restaurants that have been open eons in Hamilton close, thanks to Kathy. The blood bath will continue ...
Don't be surprised to see that same order of fries become $3.55 + tax(es). in a few weeks ... :(
