Temporary Inflation Fee is not a legitimate thing. That is a price increase disguised as a political statement. In this case, it is a 13.33% price increase and the TIF is taxed. If they need to raise prices because of inflation, then raise the prices proportionally. This way is some bullshit. [/quote]

Raising the prices this way shows exactly what you're paying for. If the customer asks, point to the fact that fryer oil is 60% higher now or cheese is a 34% mark-up or any number of things. Customers have a right to know instead of the fees being 'hidden'.

Those both show an illegitimate, unjustifiable increase that is FAR MORE than the rate of inflation.  That is greedy, opportunistic corporate price gouging.  Place blame where it actually belongs.[/quote]

A President ignoring price gouging in every corner in favor of…*checks notes*…cash out to parents?

The U.S. is under a national emergency legally and has been since March 2020. If anyone is caught selling PPE at inflated prices, as they were in the early days, they are prosecuted. So why isn’t the administration doing something about food?[/quote]

Not sure what you think Biden should be doing about price gouging.  Price gouging isn't illegal.  It's shitty, and it's worsening the situation for those who are struggling for no good reason, but it isn't illegal.[/quote]
