We've had free coffee at work for years. Two weeks ago, during the all-employee meeting, they told us that was going away. So my cost for coffee just increased by infinity percent.
Eating out- during the deep days of The Plague we were doing it once a week or so, both as something to do, and a way to support local businesses and folks who were hit hard by the lockdowns. One brewery we used to go to fairly frequently used to charge $5 to $7 for a pint. A few months ago they changed to 12 ounce glasses and made it a flat $7 for all of them. Not only was this a general price increase, but a decrease in beer quantity too.
The humanity.
Fast food getting more expensive is probably a net benefit to humanity. Cheap meat and carbs are responsible for millions of dollars of health care costs annually.
