Economy

foods for years have been going up and up, even w/ the dips in food prices sometimes, they still went up. Perhaps sometimes this is due to employee wage increases but I'm hearing that they've cut down the size of employee shifts, etc. to counter this (the wage increases). Seems like no matter what we do to increase the wages of low wage workers, the companies themselves will find a way around it. Personally, I think that (1) fast food prices are going out of control, and you're better off going to that Mom and Pop restaurant for a decent meal, one that you'll be able to take home leftovers too, for another meal or two.

Fast food is sticking to us. They are gouging us, and of course, they'll advertise endlessly that they're not.
