"I was in a very modest Mexican family-owned café/restaurant looking at the wall menu boards. I was picking items and upfront the clerk said this or that was not available, due to meat shortages/rapidly rising prices. Then, he also volunteered not to use the prices on the wall menus, as prices were changing too fast to keep redoing the boards. I conservatively say that about 20% of the items I queried were no longer available… No exaggerations here!"
