Inflation and Reviews
Harold’s in the Heights, a Houston restaurant, is the setting for a business lunch. Everyone, even Patrick Amante, the proprietor of a graphics design firm, has been affected by the same suffering.
Amante says that “inflation and supply chain, generally, have had a big effect on the company.”
The term “SHRINKFLATION” confuses customers as businesses try to make money during an inflation spike.
Amante says he’s observed a change in the things he’s gotten from suppliers as inflation increases.
It’s possible, Amante speculates, that they’re shrinking the size while maintaining the price.
