say thanks to increased gas prices, increased milk prices, increased labor wages, increased rents etc. etc.
We own couple of restaurants and I was forced to increase the prices of everything on the menu this weekend. Waiting for the reaction from customers. We just got a letter last week from the local electric company that electricity prices will be going up soon.
Because of increase in gas prices, our cost of goods have gone up a lot, especially paper & plastic products. I was at Safeway last week and noticed that milk has gone up by ~70c/gallon too. Its just inflation and its not just happening at a few places, its happening everywhere.
