I think a few chains have realised they've taken the rip-off increases too far. In the UK for example, Pret has brought back its £1 filter coffee (a staple of many years up until the pandemic/shortly after. But still overpriced as it tastes disgusting). Perhaps they also realised raising their croissants 60% was too much, and have reduced it down to only a 30% increase. A competitor, Greggs, has been killing them with new stores opening weekly I can't keep up with McDonald's pricing but I know the value items such as a cheeseburger and double cheeseburger (£2.29) never went away. But they've made some big increases in eg mcflurry (regular size used to be £1, now something like £2.40) Perhaps some companies must be feeling the pinch, or at least, being crushed by competition
