By the beginning of this year everyone started to talk about the expectations for the new prices that we are going to face. Our main concern was the petroleum products and we never thought that it is much more than what we expected.
I’m not a fan of shopping but sometimes it is a must to go to one of the malls to buy some goods. My first stop was the gas station to fill the car with benzine I was expecting the new amount of money that I’m going to pay to fill my car, so it didn’t matter. Then I decided to visit the City Mall so I can find everything that I want to get fashion, grocery or any dinner plan. First of all the prices of the fashion were unbelievable and very shocking. I thought about it for a while and said that it’s not a must to get my things from those stores to have some branded clothes. For me it doesn’t matter when I’m wearing something nice that fits me.
The grocery shopping list was in my hand; Carrefour was the next plan. Literally everything with no exceptions was tagged with new prices that are very high. Maybe it has been a long time I haven’t done some shopping but I’m sure that it wasn’t that long to see that difference in the prices.
Any way, I got everything and left the City Mall and decided to pass by Burger King to get a meal for the dinner. The usual meal that I used to have when I go to Burger King, but the shock was very obvious on my face when the cashier told me that the price is 5.500 JD! I couldn’t do anything more than paying that amount of money.
After telling everybody that story I figured out that I was living out of this world for a while where everything changed. Now I’m wondering why people are silent and not reacting for the new disaster?! Are we going to face this with our silence and our payments for the new prices?! Obviously yes “as usual”!
I really wonder about this silence and acceptance!! whats the matter with us people, for a while I thought that I am the only one who is concered and annoyed about the issue of the new prices, then i discover that everybody is strogly against it but no one reacts or do something about it.. we only talk talk talk, but we really do nothing nothing but talk, obviously and as usual we accept and life goes on!! too bad!
