Now, I may eat lunch out every two weeks and dinner out maybe every two months.
Two months ago I complained that my vegetable plate (4 vegs, no drink) to go was $9.89. When I first started buying that it was below $5.00. The clerk said if you think that is high, don't order crab claws...they're $50.00 a pound.
(The bayou where they catch them is just down the road)
And they say....We haven't seen anything yet.
Thank DEMOCRATS!
Where I sometimes go for lunch way out in my local hooterville, I have run into the same.
Good little place and I try to support them.
All of this inflation is passed off to the little guy by these companies / businesses, and the little guy has no recourse to pass it on to anyone else. The little guy is the the sucker at the end of the line.
Shouldn’t it be a Transitory Inflation Fee instead of Temporary?
Now see... this right here shows why you like the BuFu blog.
There was no $1 entree on a nearby McDonald’s.
The McChicken was $1.79.
He’s now $1.79 Joe, no longer $1.25 Joe.
i imagine in time to come there might be an uptick in the sale of a sorts of cookbooks.
btw, fresh crawfish are, as of this morning, $1.99 a pound, and boiled are $3.99 a pound.
I don’t normally have to eat at restaurants.
I’m in Upstate NY. I don’t know how any of these food places stayed in business. Tough times.
At some point consumers will just say no.
Game over.
Local strip Mall Chinese food. One regular dish and 1/2 portion of another dish. $28!!!!
Insane!. No more restaurants for me or my family
The scam-demic wound up closing a great Chinese place.
Best crab Rangoon around.
The economy is going to grind to a halt. People will start to cut back a bit. No more trips to the beach. Instead of eating at Olive Garden, it’s going to be McDonald’s. Elon Musk is smart to reduce is workforce by 10%.
10% for the Big Guy!
“inflation fleas” = A Jo Jo Biden Tax.
I am in north texas. Prices up 40-50% for restaurant meals
Ate out with the family recently. A note on the menu read: “20% gratuity added to parties of 6 or more.” First off, a gratuity is a reward and an acknowledgement of good service. So, let’s see: they are penalizing you for bringing in more business? It was, as usual, mediocre, over-priced food. Screw ‘em.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a cottage cheese, sliced peaches, banana pudding and Jello vegetable plate.
