I find tip inflation to be the most blatant. Gone are the days of 12/15/18, now I see 20/25/30

On top of inflated food prices. We really need to set expectations lower on inflation

Food.

Something we're reminded of several times a day.

Your threads suck balls.

You're a child. Every post is about money.

This, folks, is what happens to a kid that attends Aggie.

They end up becoming so excrutiatingly un-self aware and tactless. What an embarassment to the Great State of Texas it is, and what an embarassment to our Millennial generation you are.

Wise up, kiddo....

Canned biscuits. They were .50 a can prior to Covid. They're up to like $1.50+ now. That's just the Pillsbury can of five regular sized biscuits, not the jumbo or whatever.

Always look for 'Custom' and tip what I want- usually $1 per meal on to go orders and 20-25% on dine in, unless it's auto included, then they get what they get

Cases of soft drinks... A case of Coke Zero went from under $5, sometimes as low as $3, to $7-10. I used to catch the sales that were 3 for $10.

Crawfish?

The tip thing is driven as much by the POS terminal providers as the establishments.

The terminal providers get a percentage of the total and figured out to put the tip screen on everything.

This. I’m going to start slapping down $5 for anything under $40 and call it a day. I’m finished subsidizing employers who don’t pay staff.
