It was quoted on the news that they were going to use better quality ingredients and offer more upscale selections. It that's the case, it would be the reason in the raise in prices. They did not say they were raising prices per se. They said they were doing away with so many of the discounts/coupons/specials.

I don't wish for any legal business to fail or for anyone to lose their job. And though I don't eat there, I don't take the attitude that those workers are not our responsibility. You would be screaming bloody murder if they went out of business and more people joined the unemployment line on your tax dollars.
