[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I telework 2 days and when I was in DC yesterday I bought a burrito and a bottle of water from Qdoba  and it was almost $20.00.  Bowser can start by fixing vagrancy and homelessness Fed workers aren’t going to buy enough lunch to fix DC even if they all return full time.[/quote]
Jesus. What a waste of money. It seems like prices everywhere have increased 50% or more. The idea that Federal workers need to come back in order to be ripped off is ridiculous. I recommend stocking up your office with protein shakes from
Costco. They are cheap, filling and provide all your essential nutrients. Maybe it’s not as satisfying as a burrito, but when the alternative is to spend $20 at Qdoba I’m going with the shake. [/quote]

DP.  Prices have totally gone up.  I generally bring my lunch but previously when things get busy would buy out once a week, but I swear lunch at my pre-pandemic quick service haunts cost 50% more.  Just not worth it.  I'll still get a coffee/muffin sometimes but have really buckled down on bringing my lunch.[/quote]
I don’t think it’s possible to get even a basic lunch downtown for under $15 + tax/tip anymore. And they wonder why businesses are failing. Maybe property owners should start cutting breaks on commercial rents to keep costs down for their commercial tenants. But they would never do that. It’s pretty clear that things are only going to get worse and more slowly and much longer than anyone expects.
