I buy a buttered coffee scroll from Kenny’s Bakery Cafe, Collins Street Melbourne, some mornings when I am in the office. I bought one this morning. I was ready to hand over my $2.90 when the woman behind the counter said $4.10.
“$4.10,” I repeated. “They are normally $2.90.”
“Oh yes, but the prices are all going up.”
“But that is a substantial price rise?”
“Oh yes, but we are a franchise.” The inference was, I presumed, that it was beyond their control.
I calculate that to be a 41.25% price rise.
I was surprised, that's what I felt. It's probably good, though, I don't need to eat fatty treats anyway, you know.
