I'm sorry for throwing more anecdotes into the barrel, but our local Facebook groups absolutely lose their shit when things go up in price (or are perceived to go up in price.) Things like fast food places upping the price of a burger, or grocery stores charging a dollar more for eggs than last year, are certainly noticed.
(And honestly, for people on a fixed/limited income, food prices going up are probably a fairly reasonable thing to be upset about!)
- ToucanLoucan 3y agoI mean companies gouging on the prices of every day goods under bullshit "inflation" excuses is a hot topic right now, and deservedly so I feel. It's hard to take their cries of "we can't help it!" as seemingly every major corporation is reporting record profits constantly. Irrespective of the larger economic forces at play there, if you're simultaneously whining about how you need to raise your prices because everything is expensive, or worse still, doing it because your laborers are demanding better wages, while not paying said wages and charging more and then posting record profits? I think people have every right to call your price rises bullshit.
