But it's fine, because Cracker Barrel changed their logo back.
That whole thing was so stupid. A bunch of folks hated it because they thought it was woke. A bunch more folks didn't give the slightest shit but thought it was a terrible rebrand. Even more folks said "Wait, they're still in business?"
Living off tips at a Cracker Barrel must be rough. At least Waffle House isn’t slow.
Waffle House isn't too bad. Even Anthony Bourdain enjoyed it. If I don't get tacos when I'm up at 3am (we've got an amazing 24 hour taco stand about 10 minutes from me and the tacos are all $3 or less) I've been known to stop in and get my drunk ass scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked. It ain't the best food in the world, but it definitely hits that little happy button in my brain.
Cracker barrel wishes they were waffle house.

Groceries, they have a term ‘grocery.’ It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying foods. It’s pretty accurate term, but it’s an old fashioned sound.
Groceries are what you buy from a grocer at a grocery store
Grocer is one of those terms where it gets increasingly evident that English is Germanic Hill with a French castle built on top.
I was about to correct you on that but I looked it up and you're more correct than me.
I thought groceries were more like packaged goods and not necessarily edible.
Like here in Australia if I went to a super market and bought steak and veggies I wouldn't say "I'm just out buying some groceries".
Another example, "I buy my veggies from the veggie shop, steak from the butcher, and then other groceries from the super market".
I guess it is a somewhat old term. becoming less popular I suppose.

Now they should put up signs next to the prices showing how much of the raise is due to Trumps tariffs.

It is almost like that is how things work. MAGAts you are getting what you voted for.
Sadly, you and I, too.
Wait what?
And somehow, they're still making record profits!
People still need to eat, and I wouldn't be surprised if the supermarkets have kept the same margins as a percentage with the higher price for essential products.
No shit
Since my last grocery trip: beef is at record highs, worse than the pandemic. Egg beaters (100% inflation in 11 months) and Hot Pockets (50% inflation, same time period) are at record prices BJ's bottled water went up from $3.50 to $4, first increase I've seen Soda products are are almost record highs, around $8.75 ish. Record high was when diesel was super high, and was $9.50. now, 15 years ago, same store, it was regularly $2. an average loaf of bread is almost at $4.- 15 years ago it was breaking $1.

Gosh, I thought they were just going to eat the costs, because Taco hereby ordered it.
I just buy whatever is on sale. That has been my solution.
