Conversation w/inmate worker about sudden increase in items missing from inventory on arrival from warehouse.

Me: Glad I'm not at `$yard[-1]` anymore. Lots of warehouse workers there, all kinds of side hustles.

They, sarcastically: What could possibly be going on?

Me, sardonically: Hmmm

They: What motive could they possibly have?

Me: HMMM

They: With the price increases?

Me: And the new quantity limits?

They: A perfect storm.

Me: Talk about creating a market.

BTW they did some math. Rather than ~4oz bags of instant coffee for $6, inmates must now purchase $0.25 single serving packets with ~0.05oz of instant coffee in each.

The math: they need 75 single serve packets for the same amount of coffee they could get from a 4oz bag, at a cost of $18.75. For the amount of coffee that cost $6 two weeks ago.

They make 50 cents an hour.
