I was in a Nike store this weekend. I heard a part-time employee say:

Guy: "Man...I'm only here for 25 hours. That barely pays for gas. If gas gets any higher, it wont even be worth it to come in. I'll just quit."

Me: "People gonna flip shit if they can't get to work to pay their bills."

Guy: "Hell yea we are!"

People in the back nod.


I don't travel very far for work, so I never thought how hard inflation is hitting people who travel across town, let alone people who don't get much above minimum wage.

The powder keg leans forward a little further...stock up!
