It's about time that corporate greed is addressed overall.  Ever since the pandemic companies are using "supply chain issues" as an excuse to jack up prices and line their pockets.  Nothing more than "legal" theft.

Re: It's outrageous and something should be done...

A lot of you complain about the prices of food on the Q and where you can get it cheaper and the like. The price was very reasonable for what they had to offer being ship.

Walmart may have them cheaper but you don't know how long it took to get that item to that store because everything is shipped by their trucks from one of their facilities. I have tasted some of those items from Walmart and Sam's and there is a difference in those items. We all have choices and to keep acting like the Q is doing bad business practices is ashame. This is the reason why businesses are closing everyday because we as consumers want everything cheap. We have driven more companies out of business or havve forced them to stop producing goods in this country because we want cheap prices. People are losing their jobs because we want lower prices and don't realize the workers want more pay as well. Something will be done believe me and we all know that in the end someone will lose their job.

Re: It's outrageous and something should be done...

Some of you forgot one thing Corky's is the one who has to buy the product from his supplier and pay those high prices to sell the food on the Q. They negotiate the price a year in advance and I guarantee you they are not making that much money off of those items. Some of you don't know they have an entire staff to pay,along with all the other items needed to prepare those items. So before you accuse someone of robbing people think about what it takes to run a  business.

I know my prices and can spot a bad deal a mile away. This was a bad deal.

Totally a false statement.  You need to brush up on your economics.

Shame and highway robbery by the Q for their recent TSV of Corky's Microwave dinners at $69. for six of them.

You can buy these dinners at Walmart for $4.85. Demands should be made for retribution and price returns.

The Q does the pricing. They charge $69. for six while you can pay approx. $30. for six at Walmart.

Those who have purchased should do some calling and letter writing to get your money back!

This should be done every time the Q goes so far as to rob you!


You're not getting robbed if you feel it's unreasonable and there are other options.  Not robbery ... it's a choice.
