Think New Orleans Profiteering Was Bad? Try Wallingford

Think you're safe from profiteering because you're thousands of miles from a natural disaster? Think again, Jack. The robber barons who run Dick's Drive Ins are reaching for your pocketbooks YET AGAIN. They increased prices on practically every product on the menu last month.

Modest profits aren't enough for these pigs. We've lost track of how many times they've raised their prices, but we can present these shocking statistics.

Since Dick's opened:

• The price of a hamburger has increased 505%.


• The price of a shake has increased 710%.


• The price of fries has increased an unconscionable 1082%!!!

Enough is enough! How far do these greed-crazed maniacs think they can push us?

People of Wallingford--while you were whining about the possibility of not being able to park directly in front of your house for 20 hours a year, there was a real crime in foment right under your noses.

Stand up to profiteers! Stand up for decency and fair prices! Stand up and be COUNTED! (If you are a male member of Friends of Gas Works Park, you may want to stand on a box. We're pretty sure you all have Napoleon complexes.)
