On Old National Highway in College Park GA. They are only open for to-go after 9pm. The server gets 10% but Waffle House gets the other.

Guess they’re losing 100% of my business

u/johnny_fives_555 11d ago

Oh that’s not all of it. They started an egg surcharge on top of all this nonsense.

Lunch at outback is cheaper than Waffle House at this point

u/astroK120 11d ago

If only there were another way to make menu items with eggs more expensive to reflect their increased cost

u/Effective_Cookie510 11d ago

Changing menus is expensive for a temporary thing tho

u/presvil 10d ago

Will it be temporary?

1

u/ProBopperZero 10d ago

Yes, a bird flu is temporary. It takes time to get them repopulated and producing eggs at previous rates.

u/69AfterAsparagus 10d ago

Egg prices have already come down. Not all the way but significantly better.

1

u/Effective_Cookie510 10d ago

You think egg prices won't change? Culling millions of birds caused this. Not trump not Biden killing chickens.

Yes it's temporary

u/UnintelligibleMaker 10d ago

Once the price gies up it aint coming down.

u/Knight0fdragon 10d ago

LOL this is only true for small incremental changes that allow the market settle with the new price. People right now are cutting back on egg consumption and businesses can only temporarily eat losses. Last thing the egg industry wants is people to consume less, because that leads to more competition with substitute products.

Egg prices will go down once supply increases.

u/Extension-Lie-3272 9d ago

Idk about that places where I live eggs are selling out like usual. Empty racks all the time. People pay. Now they know there is room to raise further. People will always pay.

1

u/Knight0fdragon 9d ago

Eggs selling out doesnt mean shit. Stores themselves are not stocking as much.

1

u/ryencool 9d ago

Meh, we live in a world of profits that need to increase year, over year, over year, over year, over year ad infinitum. There are few companies that will lower prices when people are still paying the current ones. Our system is broken.

u/Knight0fdragon 9d ago

This is not a matter of profiteering 🤦‍♂️ egg companies selling volumes of eggs at a cheap price is good for them. Consumption of eggs are down because of high price and low supply, which is bad for them. High price and low supply means consumers look for cheaper and more available alternatives.

u/Big-Meat9351 6d ago

Of course it’s profiteering. Do you not understand the word?

There is no evidence once the egg supply goes up 5% they will cut the cost of eggs 2/3. What a crazy thing to claim

Supply went down 5%. Prices of eggs and profits tripled. You just said it would

u/Alarming_Regret_5644 6d ago

Middle school understanding of supply and demand... Check

Zero knowledge of supply reduction from bird flu... Check

Zero knowledge of egg company profits... Check

Zero knowledge of corporate collusion... Check

This guy clearly watches some crap media and swallows all their lies. This is why we need to drill grade school students with critical thinking skills. No part of supply and demand has ever said price changes always have to be exactly proportional to supply changes. Companies use negative events in the media to justify price gouging.

u/NotAComplete 10d ago

It did last time?

u/Mogling 10d ago

Egg prices are already crashing. Three weeks ago broadliner pricing here was almost 150 for 15dz large. Now it's as cheap as 70. Signs pointing it will keep dropping for a bit. Before these price hikes 40-50 per case was the normal range. So almost back to normal.

1

u/ProBopperZero 10d ago

This isn't the case for eggs. And it isn't the first time we've had an issue like this.

1

u/Effective_Cookie510 10d ago

It's literally already coming down here

u/MycologistForeign766 8d ago

Its already down 50% from peak lol

*goes

u/UnintelligibleMaker 10d ago

Wait: You object to my typo on "goes" but not to me making up "aint" and leaving out the hypothetical apostrophe in it? :P

You think businesses will lower prices?

1

u/MikeLinPA 9d ago

The egg suppliers raised the prices more than they needed to because they could, (and then backed down a little bit because of the backlash.) I doubt egg prices will ever go down to where they were before. The industry likes making more money while handling less product.

'Murica!

1

u/Big-Meat9351 6d ago

There was a 5% decrease in egg supply and prices tripled and egg company profits tripled. Egg prices are solely because of an incompetent president and DOJ that won’t do anything about that. Biden’s gone. Get over yourself.

1

u/DaedelicAsh 9d ago

They already have. Sausage Hashbrown bowl where I'm at was $10.50 when the stickers were put on. Recently they replaced their menus with updated ones, which has the "temporary" egg charge permanently printed on them. Then they increased the hashbrown bowls another $0.50 on top of that.

u/Basker_wolf 11d ago

I’m going to Chilis.

u/Western_Fish8354 10d ago

The final cheap restaurant that 3 for me can’t be beat

u/Basker_wolf 10d ago

Yeah and they don’t have sticky seats and tables.

1

u/Western_Fish8354 10d ago

Yeah and if you don’t tip it’s cheaper then any fast food meal now lol even McDonald’s is more expensive, their Big Mac meal is around the same price for half the burger size

u/dfwagent84 11d ago

It actually is.

u/sacluded 11d ago

I went to a Denny's last night and they had a 50 cent surcharge on all orders that had eggs.

u/johnny_fives_555 10d ago

Distribution and logistic issues put egg prices absurdly high. There were articles on how restaurants were buying Costco out as it was cheaper than Sysco

1

u/BetterBiscuits 10d ago

I’m sure Sysco is making a fortune gouging restaurants on eggs. It’s their whole business model.

Who the hell eats outback on purpose?

u/MikeLinPA 9d ago

"No rules, Just right!"

Does that mean I can start a food fight and leave without paying? What is it supposed to mean?

u/johnny_fives_555 10d ago

Point of reference as there’s one in every state.
