[Distantly Related] Lunch at Red Lobster a few days ago. The usual basket of cheese biscuits arrived. I opened up the napkin and saw they were about half the size they used to be. Their “Admirals Family Feast” went from $41.99 to $46.99, and crab-stuffed mushrooms reduced to six from eight, for the same price.
Between the shortage of help and this “transitory” inflation, I’d hate to be a manager of these types of operations nowadays.
The reason this feels different is the folks trying to destabilize the country are getting help from commies who have used starvation as a tactic almost from the start...
They have raised their former price substantially, and, poof !......eliminated the powder puff.
Unfortunately, this powder puff was of a size and material impossible to locate anywhere. I bought some crappy ones at the Dollar Tree and cut them to size with a scissor.
Not the biggest deal in the world, of course, but just another small example of Big Business slyly sticking it to the consumer one-way-or-the-other, big or little, almost everywhere you look on the store shelves these days.
Most telling is bottled liquid products where the bottle looks almost the same, but the volume is less.
By the way.....take a powder, Neutrogena!
