> Just raise prices

Let me guess, you've never run a small business before who's existance is based around being small, nimble and inexpensive in order to compete with large corporations?

Yours is the same answer that were given to hundreds of thousands of small businesses during COVID who ended up going out of business. Now you get to shop/eat at at soulless $BIGCORP which has the same slop as every other soulless $BIGCORP.

No, but I have purchased from many small businesses who are all raising prices and I basically have no choice but to buy from them anyway.
