Economists call the trend “lunchflation.”

“Before, you could get lunch for $7 to $12. Now there is no way you can get a decent lunch for less than $15.”
Seven to twelve bucks for lunch? Shee-it, when I was working I was fine with a couple ham sandwiches, an orange, and a bottle of water I brought from home. On my last workday of the week, I'd splurge and buy a burrito for $3.50 from the taco truck on site.
