Summary
A TikTok user, @rejectcheetahgirl, shared a video of her experience at a restaurant where the menu listed a “Sandwich of the Moment” with a “market price” tag, which turned out to be a sloppy joe. She was taken aback by the concept of a market-priced sloppy joe, and commenters shared similar experiences of high prices at restaurants. According to the Consumer Price Index, restaurant prices rose by 4.1% in 2025, and a National Restaurant Association report noted a 35% increase in food and labor costs. A Yahoo article also highlighted the disparity in restaurant prices between America and other countries.
