McDonald’s To Adopt Regional Pricing In Japan
From Japan Economy News:
The fast food giant intends to raise prices in Tokyo by 3-5% and lower prices in the countryside by 2-3% on average. Facing a growing disparity between rent and labor costs in the city and the countryside, McDonald’s is saying that it is being forced to make this move.
Good news for me, bad news for all of you living in Tokyo (except of course for you Ronald-haters out there).
Update: It appears I won’t be getting a discount after all, but at least I won’t have to pay more. Here’s a map of the price increase/decrease zones:
Price Increase Zones: Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka, Kyoto
Price Decrease Zones: All ‘them blue-colored countryside prefectures.
