That drives me banana's. Not so much the increase (while no one likes that) but the explanation. The Flames costs increasing or decreasing are not relevant to where they peg their pricing. What they deem the demand for their product and what price point optimizes their potential return is what dictates pricing.
If they think the market and their renewal rates can endure a price increase, cool beans have at it, but don't package it up in some garbage around liquor costs going up and the minimum wage, just friggin charge more. I'm sure they don't pass along the savings when #### gets cheaper, not that it ever does.
