Let that sink in...

Amazes me how incredibly short-sighted these people are. You took away immigrants. You took away all of the money they paid into the system without taking benefits back. You took away the laborers. You took away the medical caregivers. You took away the decency of helping the less fortunate.

Vote early.

I agree with the cutting down on portions. They should use smaller plates for the illusion of big portions. No one needs that much food, it's not healthy.

I was priced out of restaurants a long time ago, but I enjoy looking at their menus. I cannot believe the rise in the prices, I have no clue how they are staying in business.

And the take-out boxes seemed to have shrunk a bit. At least in my local places.

Went out today with my partner for a drive down to the beach. We each had a hot dog, split some fries and split an iced tea… $25.65! Can’t make it up!

And still priced better or the same as shitty chain restaurants.

Yes, I talked to Local Owner from Local Restaurant and he said he was a 100% Trump supporter

Yeah, those businesses that have Republican campaign signs all over their property are advertising to me that they don't want my business and that they support anti-American politicians. Brilliant move.

Relax, its just some boomer posting a meme he got emailed

1986 I got 10¢ wings on Tuesday from the VFW. Now get off my lawn!

It’s sad to see restaurant profit margins decreasing nonetheless.

Anything with petroleum has jumped noticeably

Thank Felon-President Trump for all the increases!

Minimum wage was: $7.25 200 Months Ago $7.25 100 Months Ago $7.25 50 Months Ago $7.25 24 Months Ago $7.25 12 Months Ago $7.25 Today

☹️😒

Unfortunately the customers can't afford to pay more because all their expenses have gone up as well. 😞

These restaurants need to raise hell to the government not pass on their burdens to their consumers who are in exact the same boat. There is no excuse for price gauching.

If the goal is to get people to vote, what’s the most useful action someone can take right now beyond sharing this post?

They are all either going to go out of business due to cost going up for everyone not just them. Also due to the fact who knows what you can eat and not especially restaurant food supply. Mystery meats bad lettuce and who knows what else.

I saw hamburger at the store yesterday for $8.49 a pound. I eat little hamburger, but all I could think about was the families that cannot afford to feed themselves.

those numbers are made up out of thin air

some dude with a laser printer did that. There is no such thing as "Local Restaurant"

He wasn't alone. CEOs gotta grift too

I would add who's to blame. Blame RAPEblicans.

DONALD TRUMP CAUSED THIS WITH HIS WAR! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

And yet they still can't pay their workers a living wage?

I dont believe any of these numbers are true. Where's the restaurant located?

This may have been accurate for a brief moment during the covid Spike, but this is not accurate for today's prices. Yes, prices have gone up but not to this extreme. This is a meme from 2021/2022

I last remembered wings were $90 a case. Shit has really changed.

"Local Restaurant" to be precise. they serve Local Wings and Local Beer and are owned by Local Owner. It's a real place I promise! It's right around the corner.

Trumps golden age

Thanks trump!

He fucked up your economy

The reason I go to small family owned businesses I wish there was a logical way to bring our own carry out boxes- like we do at the grocery Recycle/ wash and use more than once. Save the restaurant $$

There seems to be some kind of belief that people are required to go out to eat. I enjoy trying new foods and new venues. The bottom line, though, is that restaurant dining is a very easy spending item to cut out when it gets too dear. Owners need to figure that problem out, not customers.

All Rep Frank Pallone Jr (NJ6) knows how to do is whine on twitter all day. He's too old & been in office too long. I'm voting for #HillaryHerzig Nov 3rd, so are my neighbors & family. I had enough of the selfish lazy incompetent parasite Pallone. It's time for new energy & hands on leadership.

I went down to Local Restaurant and talked to Local Owner. He was wearing a MAGA hat and said he was happy that ICE had raided his kitchen and carried off all of his staff to an extradition flight to Eswatini. He said "we all knew it was going to take a while for Trump's plans to work"

I get it and I’m not complaining about their price increases, either. I’m expecting a $90.00 check from Donald Trump, so I can afford it. 🙄

Would you join the Midnight Adventure Club?👇 teevibric.shop/midnightadve... Comment “YES” if you would! 🖤

Thanks Donald Trump!

So if I eat less fried food and finish what I order in the restaurant, I should be OK? Nah....I'm still going to vote...in hopes of eliminating our MAGA problem.

Can we please figure out how to teach people to use proper fucking grammar?

Behold the power of tariffs

Great Depression 2.0 ahead

😟

I’m a manager in F&B business. U can blame this on the dumb tariffs. Well it’s not dumb. It’s evil. If u r republican and u want to raise taxes, u find a sneaky way to do it so your constituent dont fry u. Tariffs r taxes.

Also stop putting it on us to supplement your servers' income

So how can the inflation rate only rose by 0.4% since Jan 2025? Inflation was 3% when Biden left office. We are told inflation is only 3.4% now. Everything told or said by this administration are just blatant lies. VOTE BLUE!

Thank a pedoblican

Local restaurant owners need to stop voting against their own interests and then crying its now our fault.

And the price you pay isn’t always in dollars.

Unfortunately many people are not going to be able to afford eating out. This will hurt restaurants, so many will have to close.

A dropping tide runs all boats aground?

This election. Every election. Forever.

Let them know. It is time small businesses understood that voting for Republicans was destroying them. Not 6 months ago, not today, but forever. Cancer starts small. Republicans start in church and "freedom." Theirs.

And please, be generous when you tip your server

No wonder I paid 30 dollars for my cheese steak and jalapeño poppers!

And you all can blame it on Trump.

I worked in restaurants for years. The profit margins a very tight to begin with. The people complaining haven't a clue! And they're also pretty dim if they can't co-relate their rising grocery bill with that of a restaurant!

At this point we need we need to pick the restaurants we want to keep open. For me it's not a chain restaurant, it will be a local taco place.

Totally agree! The problem is no one is adding anything to my paycheck! So yeah it sucks! For both of us while republicans are stealing from us!

Is America Great Again?… Asking for everyone.

If your favorite local restaurant raises their prices or closes its doors, do NOT blame the restaurant. Blame #GOP and #DJT. They did this.

I agree with the sentiment about local restaurants. But no one will convince me that some of their suppliers aren't price gouging. Which makes this all the worse.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social #affordabilitycrisis

MAGA votes strictly for their abusers.

Thanks MAGA. But you sure showed us libtards…..

The restaurant where I worked closed because we couldn't keep up with increasing costs. The owner didn't think she could raise prices. Customers told us after we closed, we would have paid more to keep you open. I said, they say that now, but we know better. Replies here just confirm that.

More should post this because they are facts.

This is why I closed my chocolate factory in early 2025. Can't stay afloat with such insane rising costs and refused to throw good money after bad

So what’s the one dollar straw that will finally crash this damn trainwreck ?

tell me about the thought process where you see an internet meme from "Local Restaurant" and you decide it's a "fact"

They're measuring the wrong things!

Trump and his crew killing the American Dream.

... or a Republican voter.

Fuck billionaires, patronize mom n pop restaurants!!

On the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

When someone says, "I don't believe it!" that's not an argument. That borders on a mental health statement. When he employs a contemptuous, diminutive "bud", it's because his penis fell off--he's compensating. Might want to take back the "pal"; if it was effective it would have worked on you.

Sure, bud.

His goal. He hates poors.

if you dislike Trump so much, why are you selling potash to his supporters? Either do something or whine. So far all I see is the latter.

A Restaurant that enlightens it's people is a restaurant I will frequent!!!

Those are crazy prices. You guys are getting soaked. A 40-pound case (280 to 320 pieces) of plain, raw chicken wings in Saskatchewan Canada, costs an average of $88 to $131 USD. How are they justifying what they are charging you?

And who’d they vote for in the last presidential election?

Yes. I'm aware. Ty.

aka, the Golden Age 🙄

The real inflation rate is way higher than 4%. Just look at these numbers. Look at the price of gasoline. Or groceries. Or anything else you buy.

Who did they vote for?

Ur forgetting mclane, mdi, etc

Are you the most attention-starved motherfucker on the planet?

and they are big Trump supporters

More of Trump's WINNING! I'd like to see a big, bold, THANKS TRUMP at the bottom. I'm done with people making excuses for that piece of shit.

It just means that people can't afford to eat in restaurants and more restaurants will close. All due to a Republican controlled government.

Great isn't it? Win, win, win!

A feeding frenzy of greed.
