Just got their menu for Thanksgiving. $14 for an individual turkey meal? https://www.bostonmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/BOS-3526-V305-Thanksgiving-Day-Web-Menu.pdf Isn't that normally like $8 or $9?
Boston Market price gouging on Thanksgiving?

WOW, i didn't think that they are still in business...
I have no idea what their prices are or were.
a) COVID era pricing to cover additional / excess packaging?
b) COVID era pricing to cover delivery expenses?
I thought Boston Market was gone too.
a) Not gone?
b) Working out of a few remaining locations?
c) Working out of other commercial kitchens just for these occasions?
d) Possibly a different entity using the Boston Market name?

yeah....$8 or 9 was back about 5 years ago.....lol. Must be we are getting old and not keeping up with the times. I'm seeing inflation in restaurant meals everywhere. I recently paid $7 for a egg Mcmuffin, hash brown and coffee. Either way, there is no such thing as price gouging if you choose not to participate.
Does Boston Market sell turkey dinners normally or only on Thanksgiving?
I think chicken meal is around $10-11. If you don't want to pay $14 for turkey, then get chicken.
The employees might get double pay on holidays so they have that additional costs.
Seasonal pricing. Have you noticed how much a dozen roses cost on Valentine's Day?
Haven't been there in over 20 years
Turkey prices are very low right now so the uplift might be because of something else; Be thankful you can get food when you want it.
I was there a week ago with a buy one meal plus a drink, get a second meal free coupon. Got a meatloaf and the turkey meal. Total with tax under $11.
They were undercharging you.

We just got a whole turkey we don’t have that place around here. We got a 14 pound turkey for really cheap and picked my sister up a 20 pound one for cheap as well.
Not gone from the Phoenix area, but a few stores have closed.. The regular roast-turkey-breast dinners are the same price, $9 and $10, as they were the last time I was there; the Thanksgiving dinners do include a piece of pie. I got my two yesterday, without the pie.
As mentioned above, they're not raising prices, it's the same $8-$9. That $14 includes a slice of pie and dinner roll, hence the $14. You normally get just the corn bread instead of the dinner roll. Anyway, I feel bad for the employees, I think I asked once and they said they didn't get paid any extra for working on Thanksgiving, just another day. But I think that's probably true for any restaurant worker.
I would think they would toss in a slice of pie as a bonus with the regular price just so more people would come in. Instead they jack it up 5 bucks. That would turn most people off.
