I feel like there's a lot of coverage about the cost of living crisis but nobody is talking about how fish & chip places have had the absolute balls to start charging $2-$2.50 EACH for dim sims and potato cakes. I'd love to see some data on how they justify those prices because I suspect it's just one of those "oh.. everyone else seems to be increasing their prices so I will too.. yay money" scenarios. This stuff is meant to be a cheap feed. The world just keeps getting worse.

    $1-20 potat caks at the charcoal chicken place on Scotchmer St over the road from Piedmontes. Not bad quality either - fresh, crispy and hot. Atlantic seafood on High St in Thornbury does a decent potat cak too but I haven't been past recently so don't have uptodate pricing.
