“biden is killing us.“
…as intended…
Just anecdotal evidence, I was surprised the last time I went to a fast food type of establishment, at the price.
Bidenflation is affecting the cost of just about everything we buy.
Everything is going according to the plan. Don’t worry, it will be just fine, we won’t run out of money, they will print more as we need it...
Biden voters are a political version of the Heavens Gate cult. Economically, socially and culturally suicidal.
As well as stagnant incomes for non government workers. This election will be about the economy stupid, government corruption, the border, Ukraine, China and PC gone wild.
it’s ok, the elites will always get theirs and won’t have to put up with sharing space with the great unwashed. /S /S /S
“This might lead to some consumers trading down to cheaper quick-serve restaurants, ditching casual-dining chains in the second half of this year, according to a new report.”
I just started cooking more. No need to pay $20 for a lunch, I just cook a lot on the weekend and freeze it all in those meal prep trays and I am back to $6-7 for a meal, and it’s better than most restaurants anyway.
If things get really bad, I can break out my grandma’s Depression era recipes.
Well...Cuomo shut that down.
I see food prices at the local supermarkets have gone down. It grinds my behind that I go to my local diner and see a note that says there’s an egg shortage so they had to raise the prices. Meanwhile I go to Kroger where I can buy 18 eggs for $1.49. That’s a sale price (digital coupon required).
While they'd love to profit from labor and taxes on three prepared meals a day per person, there's only so much labor that can pay for it all and only so much labor that can staff it at low wages.
its not just restaurants- We can’t afford to eat like we used to from grocery stores- $50 back awhile got a person a goodly amount of groceries- today- Nope- a few items only- hamburger today cost nearly as much as NY strip steaks used to cost on sale not so many years ago=- (Of Course we wait till hamburger goes on sale now so the price isn’t so ridiculous)
Forget buying steak except for special occasions now- it’s almost entirely chicken and pork now-
Even stuff like fruit is gettign out of hand price-wise-
Thanks a lot biden!
I used to go hit this one breakfast place each morning before work. The same half dozen local guys were there when it opened. It was a routine.
But things are such where this was something I no longer had the means to keep doing. I can buy a weeks worth of breakfast food for the price of eating out for one day.
I figured if I leave a $5 tip each morning, that’s roughly $1,200 a year some server just lost.
Around here, many restaurants simply cannot get dependable workers. Most have empty tables due to lack of wait staff. Food quality isn’t what it was pre-coof and is more expensive to boot. Two burgers, two beers plus tip is around $60. If the plandemic taught me anything it was that I can cook pretty darn good at home.
“McDonald’s value menu”
The dollar mini-sandwich are gone.
The menus are going to have to get revamped for food prep economy and self-order entry has to get widespread.
Just go buy a burrito at a food truck. Pre chomo Joe a burrito would cost $5 to $8. Now. I am seeing food truck menus with the lowest cost burrito at $18. Who the hell buys $18 burritos. And beer... 12 dollars a six pack for anything decent.

Wawa has full - sized hoagies for $6 during hoagiefest. Got a tuna hoagie yesterday, enough for 2 meals.
We used to go out to restaurants once a week. Now it’s once every 2 months. Don’t think for a minute the inflation isn’t part of the biden thugs’ plan. They can’t kill all of us s this is the next best thing.
The restaurants seem to me to have gone up a lot more than inflation.
The family pack from the local chinese place is up from $40 to $60 since precovid. That’s 50% inflation. Even spread over three years that’s 15% a year.
