Something's definitely gotta give.
Inflation is out of control.
I think these companies held off as long as they could to not pass on the higher costs to consumers........but inflation is so bad now that they don't have any choice but to raise prices.
The market always has a way of sorting things out, so.......like others mentioned..........consumers will respond by eating less fast food.
And, eventually, these companies will have to lower their prices again to eat more of the costs...........or start closing restaurants and/or laying off employees.
Maybe eliminating some items off of their menus and only offering the bare essentials.
But yeah, some of these fast-food places don't have any business having prices as high (or higher) than Chick Fil-A.
