New Zealand prices for Subway, after converting currencies are more or less the same as American prices (+/- $.50 - the ingredients are slightly different)
The people controlling the price of the sandwich are also the ones who want to pay their workers less.
We shouldn't cower and run at the thought of the bosses using strategies to fight back by comically jacking up their prices and then cynically blaming it on the government.
It's to be expected.
