REUTERS — U.S. diner chain Waffle House has added a 50-cent surcharge for every egg in a customer’s order.
The fee is temporary, the company said, and is a response to a “dramatic increase in egg prices” caused by avian flu outbreaks.
“While we hope these price fluctuations will be short-lived, we cannot predict how long this shortage will last,” the statement read.
