We said, we have inflation but not like that… The uniformed man who decided to eat at a well-known grill in the center of Patras and paid for the gyro sandwich… for “lobster” couldn’t believe his eyes! And while the prices in all grills for the specific item (sandwich bread, gyros, fries with ketchup or tzatziki) do not exceed 3.80 euros, the uniformed man was asked to pay… 6.60 euros.

And since the uniformed man himself did not believe what he saw in the receipt, he went to the employee for “clarification”! “Sir, we also write it in our catalog, the gyro sandwich costs 6.60 euros”! What is the uniformed person to do, he paid and left! Indeed, the shopkeeper was completely legal, since he wrote in his catalog, and also in the price list of the food distribution companies, that the gyro sandwich costs… 6.60! And consider that in shops outside the center, a gyro portion costs 6.60, with three times the amount of meat, potatoes, tzatziki, tomato, dumplings, etc. In another store in Patras, at Pl. Georgiou, a round portion costs 8 euros, a perfectly reasonable price and a huge quantity!

In many cases, such products have become unaffordable for the pocket of the average consumer, which is why the traffic in traditional “sandwich shops” has increased since a simple sandwich with sausage, or burger or even souvlaki does not exceed 3 euros…
