Went to lunch at Palmer yesterday, expecting the usual price increases we've all been seeing. I was totally surprised to see a 50% price increase on my usual entrée at that establishment.
The lunch was still good, along with the service, but 50%?...REALLY!!

Steep, for sure.

But (somewhat) understandable, given the chronic shortages of workers and difficulty in obtaining some items. As overhead goes up so does the price. But I agree. 50% is hard to justify.

Many people will be fooled. If you find the price unacceptable no one is forcing you to buy.
Yesterday I needed to purchase 4, 2032 disc batteries price came to $19. Checking price on Amazon it was $8.00 for 6 Energizer Lithium I’ll wait the 2 days. Not the same with food just walk away there are other restaurants.
Thanks for the warning another restaurant I will avoid my choice.

Perhaps this thread should be entitled Hold open your wallet.

Sign of the times. My Progressive Home insurance up 41% in Nov and now my Progressive Auto insurance up 31% both with no claims, House I understand, paying for every roof replacement for others.

Yep, only dollars, but Progressive is smart. They are "insuring" the future and know that they will be paid in smaller dollars, so they need more of them.

When are you people going to learn and stay home and cook?
A Restaurant server told me once he wonders why they their put kitchens in the houses in the villages.

No increase is what we would all like.

But many of us would be happy with only $22 or $37 increase in premiums!

I haven’t turned a stove on for at least 30 years ,maybe longer and at 83 I can tell you that I don’t know how to cook anything and I’m quite proud of that lol

Never been to Palmers so I wouldn’t know if the prices went up. I always thought they were expensive anyway so we have not been.

Never been, wouldn’t know, have not been.............................................. .?

Never play a round of golf without a Turkey, cheddar, and hummus sandwich on multigrain bread in the cooler of my golf cart. Problem solved!

[charlieo1126@gmail.com]

For that kind of sandwich I would also recommend taking floss with you !!!

I used to feel that way. Then I realized I like knives and in the kitchen I get to play with lots of them. Benihana, move over. 👺Bwaahaha!
