    Could under reporting of real inflation that consumers feel be a factor here?

    I’m sure these companies are exploiting consumers, but I’ve also been suspicious of the reported inflation numbers. It feels a lot higher than that and actually it could be more in line with the companies in the graph.

    Maybe it’s not the fast food prices that are high but the inflation number that is too low.

      That’s a valid concern and I was wondering the same thing, but as of now, unless something leaks saying that they where lying, this is all we have to go on
