Stacy Lane+FollowA Big Mac meal is nearly $18 now. This is the cost of the wage hike.Everyone cheered when the minimum wage hit $20/hr. The result? My local fast food joint fired half the staff, installed kiosks, and hiked menu prices by 30%. Now my salary hasn't gone up, but I can't afford what used to be a "cheap lunch." Is this really helping the poor? #MinimumWage #FastFood #Economics #Inflation #JobMarket00Share
Dreamweaver23+FollowThe self-checkout machine just asked me for a 20% tip. This is getting out of hand.I scanned my own items, bagged my own groceries, and then the screen asked for a tip. For who? The robot? Businesses are shifting the entire burden of paying wages onto customers. This isn't "gratuity" anymore; it's a hidden inflation tax. Are you guys still paying these guilt-trip fees? #TippingCulture #Inflation #Economy #RipOff #Consumers10Share

sherrilee+FollowWhen I Saw Eggs Were $6, I Put Them Back and Went Here Instead.I used to think going to a food pantry was shameful, but these grocery prices leave me no choice. Yesterday at the store, I couldn't justify paying $6 for eggs. On my way home, I checked Food Radar and found a church just two miles away distributing food. No questions asked—volunteers just handed me eggs and fresh veggies. They said, "We're just trying to stop food waste." The shame disappeared instantly. #Inflation #GroceryPrices #FoodPantry #LifeHacks00Share
