Inflation at the Golden Arches

When out for a drive the DrsC sometimes like to pull into a McDonald's drive-thru to buy a couple of their vanilla soft-serve cones. For a long time those have been $1 each, plus tax. Here in NV that came to $2.17 total, and was a good value.

This afternoon we pulled into MickeyD's, ordered two cones, had the $2.17 ready, and were told the price was now $4.34. They'd added a dollar to each cone, doubling the price. I looked at the lad, asked him to repeat the price, heard him clearly, answered "No thank you" and drove on. 

Perhaps we'll go back for more at some point, but it will likely be awhile. Right now it no longer seems "a good value." We have sticker shock. 

I blame Joe Biden, who has the doo-doo touch. Whatever he touches turns to fecal matter.
