[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minimum wages have increased.   That money doesn’t come from no where.  They must increase their costs. [/quote]
People keep repeating this as a reason for high prices. but the fact is that corporate profits are sky-high.[/quote]

Local places aren’t corporations. They’re still gouging consumers through the nose with prices.  Keep on blabbing about nebulous ‘corporations’….meanwhile the stupid restaurant owned by a local is charging you $20 for 8 chicken wings before tax and tip.  [/quote]

I think some local restaurants adopted this attitude during Covid like they should be treated like a non profit or a charity. Like "we're a struggling local business, you need to help us out." Because during Covid when everything got shut down, workers and businesses really did need help to get by (and got it in the form of federal and local assistance, unemployment, etc.). But now everything is open and it's still like "come on, you have to help us out with these fees and paying these super high prices, we're a restaurant during Covid, we're still struggling." And I'm like... ok but you are open for business. If people aren't showing up or you still can't pay your bills with what's coming in, at this point it's no longer a "help us out" situation. Either your business is viable or not. You are a for-profit business, not a charity. [/quote]

100% agree. During lockdowns and such, I was happy to pay more and tip high because I knew they were struggling. Now they’re not but they want all the same grace plus extra fees and worse service with your messed up orders. No thanks. If you can’t operate a restaurant without running like that, don’t open a restaurant I guess [/quote]
