Yes, this price increase is a step too far! The impact on disabled people and pensioners will be devastating to many of them. These people are among the most vulnerable in our society already and to make a greedy move like this against those most unable to fight back is evil. The strikes come from so many directions and lead me to believe that there is a vendetta against this section of society. It will most probably not really impact those who have good physical and financial capacity. Again, it is the weakest in our world who are made to carry unsupportable burdens to ensure profit margins and higher earnings for shareholders in the companies involved. When are we going to truly see any improvement in our society’s regard for those for whom they should have at least a little compassion?

So before COVID, what did these people do to get their groceries? Funny how interim solutions to temporary problems are expected to always be made permanent at little or no cost. Can’t those people you mention go back to what they were doing before?

100%. And besides $50 is not that big a deal in a single shop; just consolidate three buying trips to two.

I agree with the above comments, some personal responsibility needs to be taken. Besides if you have a car, you don’t need to shop every day. A weeks worth of shopping is not likely to be less than $50.
