>>21399120How much does shitbutter cost in Kangarooland? In Burgerstan, you can get it as low as $2/lb around Christmas, $3/lb on sale/offer and $4/lb "normal" price. 1lb makes two dozen.
The flour, yeast etc is negligible in cost.
So for as little as about $2.50, you can have 24 croissants.
Labour costs, too, and while I'm not gonna lie and say you can cobble them together from scratch in an afternoon, the active time spent making all those croissants (rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling and forming) only takes about an hour and a half. So, pretending that Kangaroocoins are in parity with Burgerbucks, at $2.50 per croissant ร 24 croissants = $60, meaning a lone baker is paying himself ($60 - $4.50 [assuming the retail price of not-on-sale butter]) รท 1,5 hours = $37/hour, which is $8 above the payscale.com estimated range for a baker's wage in Melbourne. Of course, the cost of the ingredients are even lower if you buy wholesale.
tl;dr you're wrong and probably gay. Happy pride, homo.
