Following the shutdowns, prices on everything went up supposedly because of "supply chain issues" and now it is because of "inflation".

The bottom line is that when you shut down businesses for two years, those businesses are looking for every reason to raise prices in order to make up for two years of lost revenue.

No doubt.
But the wonderful thing about capitalism (for now) is we still have a choice. I’ll choose to visit businesses that don’t shamelessly rip me off.

its raising your taxes without raising your taxes and the government can say " we didn't raise your taxes"

This.

And add to that fact that all of their supplies (and delivery of supplies) have had their prices jacked up too. It ALWAYS gets pushed to the consumer.

Alleviating the problem has a fairly simple solution. Maybe in 2024 it can begin to be corrected.

Just wait till new construction restaurants aren’t allowed to install gas stoves anymore.

New York Wok cooking will never be the same.

I doubt that happens nationwide, but if it does Louisiana will be last to implement.

Right? I know people have to make a living, but even $26 for two burgers, two bags of chips, and two waters is crazy. Throw in the fact we have to tip for everything nowadays.

Grocery bill:
$4.94/lb 80/20 ground chuck
$3.53 (8 buns)
$7 (24 pack of deli deluxe cheese)
$1.09 white onion
------------------
Total grocery bill $16.56

Cost per homemade double patty smash burger:
$1.25 4 oz patty
$0.44 bun
$0.30 sliced cheese
$1.60 bag of chips
$0.07 onion slices
------------------

FYI, get your ground chuck at Adrien's this week. On sale for $3.48#. You've already saved $1.46 on your total.

Already set for NYC. Not sure if that will apply to restaurants or not
