Sometimes life bites, and it isn't always your fault.

With all the talk of price gouging and shrinkflation, the average consumer is sick and tired of being charged extra for the same if not a lesser product than before.

The price of McDonald's, Chipotle, and just about every other fast-casual restaurant has increased over the last four years, and while some of that increase it due to inflation, some of it is due to greed.
