Higher interest rates lower inflation by tossing people out of work so that they can’t afford to buy stuff. Things can get worse.

      40 years ago places had signs saying they won’t take a bill over a 20 and a 20 from back then is way over a 100 today. I have no idea why places don’t take 100’s. Im pretty sure places were taking 20’s for awhile back before then to.

        I work at a Domino’s, we only carry $20 for change (so that if we get robbed, we don’t have too much stolen). So, unless your order is over $80, we can’t take the hundo.

          Pizza delivery has always been like that. 40 years ago you could not even expect them to have change that adds up to twenty bucks. but like you could fill a car with groceries with 20 bucks and get change. Food delivery you should have over the approximate amount and not expect change honestly.
