It would be hard to argue that point.

Interesting story the other day - Chipotle is raising prices to cover the cost of increased wages. That's kind of what we're starting to see across the board with bigger companies, and it's playing a small part in the rising inflation too. Unfortunately, these large chains are able to do that much more easily than smaller, family-run restaurants and stores. It's all fair play, but the smaller places are really going to need to up their game in order to get away with higher prices. But they're going to have to raise prices to compete for labor it seems. I've seen interviews with several owners around my area where they've said they'll just have to go out of business if they have to raise wages. The rest of 2021 could be really interesting for the industry.
