Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.
The pandemic has raised and leveled prices of pretty much all restaurants. This has two results:
Everything is expensive
There is no reason to eat at fast-food joints, because the final bill will be almost identical to a much better tasting local restaurant or burger joint.
This is what I’m seeing too. If I want food out, I might as well go to a place where the napkin may belong on my lap.
Decent Italian restaurant entree is close to the same as a fast food combo. About as filling and more healthy (depending on choices).
And, as a bonus, rhe wait time in rhe local restaraunt won’t be any longer.
