Anyone compare the price of food in Canada and the US? A pound of ground beef is around the same price. I paid $10 a pound for some beef at a local butcher shop who gets beef from https://63acresbeef.com/
USD

A pound of ground beef in the US currently costs around
$5.70 to over $6.50 on average, with prices varying significantly based on the type of beef (leaner, organic) and location. For example, the U.S. city average for 100% ground beef is about $5.67, while lean and extra lean is around $7.22. Some sources indicate the average is even higher, with one recent report showing a price of $6.32 for 100% ground beef.
CAD.

The average cost of a pound of beef in Canada varies by cut, but a general retail range is approximately
$6.57 to $14.34 per pound. Prices are influenced by the specific cut, with ground beef costing around $6.32 per pound in some data, while more premium cuts can cost significantly more per pound.

I don’t think you understand what “subsidizing staff wages” means. You can pay $20 + tax and tip, or you can pay $25 + tax. One the restaurant, you, and the staff pay more tax. You pay the wage of the staff with your purchase regardless. It costs everyone less if it’s a tip structure.
