So I had to buy two of them to get as much as I used to get with one. Each one of these now cost $12. The total ounces of salmon you see here used to cost $7.

      No you quoted a restaurant analyst…someone who is paid to figure out how to get people into restaurants, you really think they’re gonna say “yes people aren’t eating at your place because it’s to expensive, you should lower your prices”…no they’re gonna make up some bullshit that allows the companies to save face.

        you really think they’re gonna say “yes people aren’t eating at your place because it’s to expensive, you should lower your prices”

        That is essentially what they said.

        That article also doesn’t say anything about the efficacy of voting with your wallet. Just that people are doing it.

        It does give examples of boycotts that worked, meaning organized and with a clear message. Very different from randos silently “voting with their wallets” over “thing they don’t like about a product”
