you name it. Introducing this volatility in the market just allows the providers to see just how much we will pay for their items. I mean, the price of eggs is back down to just about as cheap as they can get. Do you think Denny's, Cracker Barrel and IHOP are going to reprint their menus with lower prices for their 3 egg omelettes? Hell no! At least not until they have too!
