Corporate America may be bumping up against the limit of its power to keep raising prices as consumers in some markets cry uncle.

“Even though we’re pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well,” he said in October analyst call.

    My favorite Korean restaurant raised prices twice in a year. It went from $16 to $19 to $22 for a box of Korean fried chicken.

    Where the big companies can handle it (and at times, are the ones doing it), mom and pop shops are getting fucked and have to raise prices too.

      I learned that Korean fried chicken is pretty easy to make, so I freed myself from the retail price increases. Also, because the place that made by far the best Korean fried chicken closed leaving me with all these watered down fried in olive oil lame places.

      Fun nostalgia: Korean chicken joints in Korea in the nineties were frequently late night (like three in the morning late night) drunken smoke filled brawl infested shit shows of soju chugging drunk munching goodness. It’s always a little strange to me to see modern day “nice” chicken places.
