EVENKEEL Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 La Vaca Birria, and customers aren’t always accepting of the change. So in a recent Instagram post, Lopez addressed a customer complaint about high prices and broke down the reasons his popular grilled cheese birria burrito has gone from $11 a couple of years ago to its current price of $22. https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/why-this-sf-burrito-costs-22-i-hope-every-damn-mexican-restaurant-raises-their-prices/ar-BB1jKMFh Newsom is such an idiot.

bkk6060 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Inflation is going up, not down. The Fed needs to increase rates one full point. No way they can cut this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidjameson Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) That's in a nice restaurant. In relation to wages it's cheaper than Thailand. 2024 minimum wage as an example is 20US an hour. 70 minutes work for a security guard. Same security guard doing 70 minutes work in any major Thai city. His 60 bht won't get him a "renowned " restaurant's dish.

swerve Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) The security guard will need to pay income taxes, food tax, and tip before he can fully enjoy that burrito. I figure the $22 will go up to $36 before tax money. $4 tip, $3 food tax and then approx. 20-25% income tax on earnings. Your security guard will need to work two hours for his lunch. Beverage and any extras will bump the price up. Edited March 18 by swerve . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas007 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Prices for just about everything are going up in the US. Food, housing, utilities, insurance of any kind, medical expenses, etc. Many people can’t keep up and are running up credit card debt or cashing in retirement accounts just to pay the bills. I’m glad I’m not there right now. I suppose the situation will eventually sort itself out. It’s not as if the country hasn’t been through periods of inflation before.

Jingthing Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I used to to live on Mission district burritos and also two dollar Mexican style Chinese rice plates. I think massive loaded burritos at the best places were about five bucks back then. Chips and salsa bar included.
