I’m all for hating on YouTubers but this is common in Wal-Mart and other grocery stores. Vendors (which he likely can sell himself as as he owns the product) are authorized to go back and help to find their merch and pull it to sell.

I mean, that’s like counting a movie’s trailer as its “debut”

This is exactly it. Everywhere, throughout this whole inflation mess, we are seeing nearly record profits and bonuses for CEOs.

I am not an economist, but don’t price hikes to “offset inflation” end up accelerating it as some kind of price hike feedback loop?

A few weeks back we stopped at an out of town McDonalds to grab lunch for three. Over $40CDN.

Paying somebody to do something is almost always more expensive than doing it yourself.

This is my periodic reminder to everyone who reads this

I will admit it. I was/Am a fast food addict. I mean shit i read a daily blog about fast food and casual dining.. But within the last year as costs have gone up, i’ve lost my appetite for this garbage.

Restaurant Business notes the company does not control menu pricing, franchisees do.

they make another empanada without bringing back the caramel apple? at this point I’m certain they’re doing this to me on purpose
