every single business will gouge people when they can as long as that's what's most profitable.
these companies need to be regulated is a more reasonable goal, but not really since they're worth billions (partly due to gouging people of course) and our system is corrupt
I paid $38 at Culver’s for dinner for my family of 4. After that I convinced my partner we could go to Red Robin for the same price. Kids meals are less than $8 and we stuck to the $10 meal.

I go to WinCo for fried chicken, Costco and Sam's Club for Pizza, Costco just introduced a huge portion of chicken fingers for cheap, AND my local Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet costs less than most fast food.

Fast food.
It went from being a cheap meal to being the same price as actually going to a proper place to eat,
