Cold Comfort: Now Surcharges on Bagels!
Sometimes, I just have to rant. I was “shocked and awed” yesterday when I visited a local deli, Cold Comfort which had a sign on their menus that informed me their would be a 25 cent surcharge on all bagels and bread items due to their increase from their supplier. This must have something to do with the high price of oil or the higher price on flour around the globe. Many of us have become use to “fuel surcharges” on transportation and things but where are the days when a business took the risk for price increases or decreases from their suppliers? Isn’t that part of what the business gets paid for? Will prices go down when the price of oil goes down? Do businesses lower their prices when their prices go down? Not likely….
