bad angle shot - tons of businesses didn't change their wage at all and had prices go up a lot more than this. how was that also the fault of nebulous 'wokeness'?

Exactly. This is just a greedy corp seeing the minimum wage increase as an opportunity to jack up the prices.

There is no way the increase in wages justifies such a pricing increase, with the volume they sell.

They saw an opportunity to abuse everyone and make the workers bear the responsibility for it, and so they rushed to it faster than matt gaetz rushes towards minors...
