    After reading the New York Times article “that dinner tab has soared”, I was very stressed. Inflation has affected North Carolina, charlotte in so many ways starting with restaurants having to take items on their menu because they are too expensive to keep. For example, some items from the restaurant Good Food’s menu that included beef or pork had to be taken off because they were too expensive, but not only the price of beef and pork but the price of basic ingredients such as oil and flour have also increased and basic items like flour and oil are difficult to replace or take off because they are in almost every dish. Another big way that inflation has affected the restaurant “Good Food” on Montford is the labor cost. With inflation increasing the prices on ingredients the price of living costs has also gone up. Restaurants are having to pay workers more hourly which also takes a toll on the company’s budget. Overall, In my personal experience this part of the article was very accurate because I’ve also witness many workers in restaurants that I’ve worked at quit because the pay wasn’t enough and the labor is too much or when the company would try to hire more workers they also wouldn’t show up for at least an interview. As someone that has also quit and not shown up for an interview, it’s very hard to get by with little pay and have a labor-intensive job. Restaurants are really struggling everywhere.
