It would be that easy if all my customers were people like you however they are everday Americans for the most part. The gas prices alone are a smaller hit that takes away some of the extra cash they may have beyond their paychecks. However it does not stop at gas either. Food prices are going up by the mid to high double digit percentages which is a huge chunk of families budgets. Most peoples electricity bills have gone up, same with natural gas, cable, water, and nearly everything else besides their paycheck. Even if they got a 30% raise today they still would have less spending power than they did before due to how much everything else has gone up.
