Not that it matters, but I meant to use the word "reflect" instead of "affect" in the post you quoted.
I suppose the point I wanted to make was that BK, Fat Burger, and Carl's are relatively new entrants, and have presumably done comprehensive pricing studies more recently than McDs or KFC. What's more even if McDs/KFC were to do new studies, their customers might not respond too favorably to a sudden 30% increase.
