Remember 2021 and 2022 when inflation was screaming and the leaders in Washington kept telling us, “awwwh,, it is just transitory and won’t last long”. Remember that horse pud?

Well, all the intelligent people realized the lie and here we are a few years later. Have you seen a restaurant go down on their prices? Seen any homes go down in price? That’s right, there is none and the elevated inflationary pricing is here to stay.

A couple weeks ago I went into one of the quick serve restaurants where you can order a burrito or bowl and pick what you wanted in it. So, I got the bowl and worked the way down the line and got ready to pay for an $11 bowl. Apparently, I had ask for two toppings that cost extra and my bowl was now almost $17. The little peckerhead behind the counter sort of smiled at me because he knew and didn’t tell me. Well, I am not going there anymore.

Then last Sunday I went to a national sandwich shop and (like a doofus) pointed to and ordered the sub in the picture. I get up to the register and the little guy tells me it is a $20 sub. Well, like the little peckeheard in the first store, he sort of smiled at me like “gotcha”. Yes, you did, you got me alright big boy, but I am not ever going back again.

Something is wrong if I can eat at Long Horns, Outback’s, Olive Garden etc. cheaper than buying a sandwich. My point, I am going to need to find some other places to eat where I can walk out without a limp because a fork is sticking in my backside. ha
