Egg surcharges

 CNN- A growing number of US restaurants are responding to the nationwide egg shortage by adding a temporary surcharge to their egg-based meals at some locations. Denny's, the popular diner chain, said its price decisions are now being made "market-by-market and restaurant-by-restaurant." Earlier this month, Waffle House, another storied diner chain, introduced a temporary 50-cent surcharge per egg. Major retailers, including Costco and Trader Joe's, have had to take action as well by imposing limits on how many eggs one customer can buy. According to the USDA, the avian flu has killed more than 140 million egg-laying birds in the country since 2022. At least 18.9 million birds have been culled in the past 30 days alone.
