Order of Aussie favourite leaves diner fuming

Would you be grumpy about this too? 

Yep, another day, another cost of living rant. But this time people are fuming over the inflated prices they're seeing of an Aussie favourite. 

An Aussie cafe-goer has hit social media to vent about the price of a serving of hot chips she recently received. 

The woman, dining in an unnamed cafe in NSW's mid-North coast, called her serving 'disgraceful' as she took to a local Facebook group. 

"I’m not sure whether this is just info or a crime," she wrote, sharing an image of her order.

Sorry, HOW much?

The woman added: "This is a $10 serve of hot chips."

When she called the cafe to complain, the Aussie was told that due to the current times, they had made a decision to reduce serving sizes. 

Unfortunately, the explanation did little to settle her rage and after taking her frustrations out to the public, she realised she wasn't the only one who experienced this at the same eatery. 

"I have been speaking to a few people who have said they have complained about the same thing. Why is nothing being done?" she questioned.

Diners are not happy

Needless to say, the post was hit with many similar ragey comments. 

"Looks like $1," one person insisted. 

"Wow that’s disgraceful," another wrote.

And another suggested: "Don’t go back… it’s ridiculous!"

Cost of living is hitting families

Unfortunately when it comes to the increased price of everyday items and things we enjoy doing - as families, as everyday Aussies - the reality is, life is getting a bit too much for us to afford right now. 

"It is no longer a tradition that is affordable for families," one person said. 

And it's true. 

Small things, like this Aussie tradition of enjoying an order of hot chips with the kids, are being pushed to the side in order to be able to afford the more important things to keep us afloat. 

Even the enjoyment of getting a takeaway coffee is being affected.

Back in June, a cafe-goer in East Melbourne was taken aback by the hefty price of his takeaway coffee over the public holiday weekend.

David, known on TikTok as @thebearded86, shared that his medium almond milk cappuccino cost a staggering $8.18!

When will it end?
