Hiking prices...

I was so tired and as I was almost late for work, I jumped onto a taxi. I felt something wrong... something different...

the first fare price! it was 710 yen! a price hike at the end of the year! 90 yen was tacked on after the first fare 10 yen more than it was before...

At my office, I also noticed that snack breads were 110 yen each at the vending machine... a 10% hike from a 100 yen price!
