Any kind of surge pricing by for profit companies providing basic needs should be illegal full stop

Ralph’s in SoCal used to be a midrange grocery store. These days, its prices are sometimes higher than Whole Foods! I feel like most large grocery chains are moving to a premium price point. They aren’t interested in providing food for everyday families

I bet they are responding to the prices in the shopping services apps.
