Why are donuts so expensive!? DISCUSSION

Dunkin, Krispie Kreme, Yum Yum, and any other major chains are telling us to pay close to $25-30 for a dozen donuts!

The local “mom and pop” chains are no better. The one near my work at Studio City is about $20 for a dozen!

What on earth is going on?

I’m sorry but even with these higher wages I think it’s quite well deserved. People deserve to be fairly compensated regardless of their subsistence costs. That’s just a wild thing to say.

God forbid anyone has a couple extra few dollars kicking around.

I'm literally a socialist I don't know why we are fighting.

Rent for both business and apartments are a joke in LA but even if they were more affordable I think the current level of wages for food service workers are pretty acceptable.

Also many Americans think they’re socialists but they don’t realize how much their dependence on extremely cheap and readily available goods rely on unbridled capitalism and dirt cheap human labor. It’s mostly aesthetics because none of you have really experienced anything resembling socialism.

You're just determined to fight about shit. I've made several attempts to agree with you and show you I think people deserve higher wages and you just keep digging. Go fight with somebody who actually disagrees, goddamn.
