i stopped at Kentucky Fried chicken durign hte pandemic- and ordered 2 peices of chicken, a soda, and fries at the drive through, and the woman said “That’ll be $22 dollars please” I asked her to repeat, she said $22- i said “You have to be kidding me” and she said “No sir=- due to a chicken shortage, the prices have increased”
I wish i had been quicker on the response and said “Well, due to a money shortage, I will cancel my order” But i just cancelled without saying why and drove off- WHOLE Supermarket Chickens, all cooked- cost $5 at that time (uncooked was even cheaper), so that is what i ended up gettign that day
yea, $14 for a Wendy’s meal, no thanks. That same $14 in cold cuts provides me a week of lunches.
