This is Artificial inflation. Whenever Congress passes a law or pushes for workers to earn higher wages, the company board members, rather than dip into their profits dip, preemptively hike up prices onto the consumers so that the percentage of their earnings on the stock market still meets their goals. Companies likely abuse this further by tacking on extra unnecessary cost which is why so many companies thrived during COVID. It's also possible they and some of their largest investors are doing a bit of under the table insider trading.

Planning to quit Retail Job today (rant)
It’s become unbearable. Mostly due to working full time despite me being part time and falling way behind in school. But the customers, the ginormous mess on the floor and on top of the rounders AND in the fitting room plus the unmanageable go back racks. Retail has always been bad but now it’s much more horrible. I’ve learned that we workers on the floor make less money than cashiers which I don’t believe the cashiers should make less but we should be paid equally. Being on the floor is multitask after multitask, we also must work 5am-2pm shifts twice a month, reticket items, shift the floor, bring product out from the truck, oh and we’re under staffed every department which also means we have to go up and help cashiers. Which means our floor is unattended and we fall back on cleanliness and our go backs. When we need…
I was working for a woman with a physical disability as a care worker. She said my training would be paid and then paid for less than half the training. I should have walked away but I didn’t have other options at the time. In any case there were two short shifts I was not paid for which I know I worked. I don’t work there anymore but when I contacted her about it she said the sign in sheet showed that other people signed in and not me. She even showed me a photo of the signatures and mine isn’t there. Maybe I didn’t go but I am so sure I did. In any case it is just a gross feeling. I have a new job that pays better and is more consistent, so I am ok. It’s just confusing.

Sly trick from my manager
My schedule is tuesday through friday as of june first with absolutely no weekends. My manager asked for my help this Saturday, which I said yes to, to be helpful because they are new to the position. Little did I know it was a trick to take away a day from my normal schedule because they over scheduled for that day. Even though we agreed upon this schedule in march. Im not mad im losing days, theirs plenty of jobs out there. Im upset they wont just tell me the truth and it makes me feel as if I'm being taken advantage of.
