Restaurant chains including McDonald's Corp and KFC are paring back $5-and-under "value" items in favor of more expensive $10-to-$30 combination meals, a strategy employed to lift sales and profits and offset rising food costs as the U.S. economy reopens. finance.yahoo.com/news/u-fast-food-chains-cut-102024255.html |

I had to raise prices at my bakery. And from some I'll get "you're not charging enough", while a select few will say "I paid such & such last year, why is it so much higher?" First I take a deep breath(and wonder why business 101 is not a requirement in school) & say I only raised it from $23 to $24, & it's because just like you, my costs have gone up. Amazing how some don't get that if costs go up, so must the retail price.

That would make sense, given that the price of meat has skyrocketed, over the last few weeks.

TIL
Popeyes was named for Gene Hackman's tough detective character Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle ("Do you pick your toes in Poughkeepsie?").
There is no apostrophe because founder Al Copeland said "I couldn't afford one."
