$SPY Wow !! No way I just had to pay a dollar more for the same meal I ate five days ago?? (Confirmed by the manager) *Hear me out* Recently, the price of the Caniac combo at Canes has increased by a whole dollar compared to just five days ago. This marks the 2nd price hike in under a year for Canes. About 1 year and 3 months ago, the Caniac combo was priced at $15.99 before taxes. However, it has now risen to $18.17 before taxes while experiencing a 10% increase on April 1, 2024 coinciding with the rise in the fast food minimum wage to $20 per hour. This is over a $2 increase in just the food alone. I’ll get to the taxes. Interestingly, while the food tax has remained the same, the overall tax dollar amount has naturally increased due to the higher prices of the food itself. This has resulted in a significant total increase of over $3 for the same meal in just over 1 year.. As a result, customers may find themselves having to break larger bills to make change, which can be a hassle. It's worth noting that these price adjustments are part of the company's strategy to maintain profitability in a dynamic market. Companies like canes haven’t lost a dime by paying their workers more. If you get paid more, but everyone raises their prices, did you truly get paid “more”? #RaisingCanes #Inflation #FastFood #Minimumwage
