“Chipotle Mexican Grill recently raised its prices.... The restaurant chain recently hiked the hourly pay for its workers up to $15 an hour.”

Wait a minute. That’s not supposed to Happen. Businesses are just supposed to absorb those extra costs. So unfair.

The biggest cost in a restaurant meal is labor, not food.
With the generous unemployment benefits, there is shortage of workers. I am seeing job opening signs every where.

"But there is no inflation."
People in Massachusetts have been complaining about the rising costs of other food products like produce, meat and prepared foods admitting in public that they don't know the first thing about economics.

Two weeks ago, didn’t know if I’d need a particular trailer connector, but looked at it in store. $16. Just bought it for $23.

A local steak restaurant had to raise the price of a basic dinner from $22.00 to $32.00 in one shot. They apologized to the diners for the sharp increase explaining that they had no choice. We are small town where the customers are regulars which made it more difficult. Hopefully they will survive.
Great steak served there.

Minimum meal now is over $10 with water. And that’s just a sandwich and fries.

That’s way out of my price range. I just had a McDonald’s Crispy Chicken sandwich (not McChicken), medium fry and large drink for $6.10 on the app including sales tax.

They are... you pay them more and they pay the extra costs, it’s like magic!

But in this (American) low-come city, the last time I looked one could collect up to 72 meals a week by hitting the multiple pantry times and location that just one program provides. Mostly at tax payer expense, and not counting purely private donations. Thank God we have an abundance - despite the misleading propaganda (such as, "Millions of children and families living in America face hunger and food insecurity [a
much contrived term] every day") by certain professional charities with bloated salaries ("Feeding America" - the one that quote was taken from, pays its Vice President of Information Technology 192,000m
with other high salaries following), but the gov. programs foster increasing dependence upon the (28+ trillion in debt) government, and I foresee the time coming when severe rationing of food will take place, and with ideological compliance being required.
I think some of those old "rapture" movies were in essence too close to a coming reality (though i think the church will go thru the 7 year trib, if preserved if not beheaded).
Years of the Beast.

First of all if you aren’t prepared for SHTF now, you are too late to start, you are now in the survival mode.
I rarely go to a restaurant. I’m married to a retired professional cook, so I don’t care much about that industry’s costs, other to be glad she no longer works in that industry. I think it is going to really change for the worse.
Groceries are really going up in the regular stores. If you live in a city you are screwed. I live in a rural and have land, so I have options.
My advice is, to deal with the upcoming inflation, get
out of the city, get out of debt, and minimize your reliance on anything having to do with Democrats, their media, their government, and their service industry.
Cut everything down to the bare necessities.
Don’t buy anything new, if can fix what you have.
Inflation is a tax, do what you legally can, to cheat the government out of their tax.
Aloha.
