Nine days is about right for that switch. I did something similar with my truck and my wife's little Honda for a week when gas hit $4.10, and by day five I was miserable squeezing into that thing. Same thing happens with phones too, people jump to the new shiny one and come crawling back once the honeymoon feeling wears off.

29 years and he still charges what's on the sign, that's wild. My barber on Moreland bumped his price from $18 to $25 back in 2021 and I acted like he'd personally raised my rent. I even thought about finding a new spot for like a week, then realized nobody else was gonna get my hairline right so I just paid it and shut up. Marcus sounds like a real one, but honestly I'm the problem, I'd probably tip less if the price jumped and then feel bad about it for three days. That paper book on Ponce is a nice touch too, my guy has one but he lost it and now it's just a napkin.
