Why would you think prices will regress? The rate of increase will slow back to norms. Deflation is unlikely overall, though of course certain things may drop.

Not overall prices.

But....fuel prices will go down eventually. They always do. Which will in turn affect the pricing (one would hope) of many other products on which businesses rely

And, the costs of individual items will settle back into normalcy eventually. Supply and demand. Wendys used to charge for tomatoes when there was a tomato shortage. No shortage now, so they don't. And so on.

So, again, when prices settle back into a more normal non-inflated price range....will restaurants adjust their prices accordingly? No, probably not. Again, toothpaste in the tube.

So how long are they suppose to eat shit....six months, two years? three years?? When are the prices going to "stabilize?" Wendy's is worth $4B+ While the new owners probably have somewhat deeper pockets than ole Sal did.....nobody goes into business to lose money.....tell me how long I have to eat shit and I'll tell you if I can hold the price on tomato's. If they get too rich for your wallet, you can always buy your toothpaste at Domino's!
