I love the diligence. That scans honestly, I was wrong to assume the worst. I'm used to InBev and their ilk being kind of terrible.

I‘m not trying to say they or who I work for aren‘t terrible (I could rant a lot about all kinds of my employers I’ve had who all have been terrible in one way or another) just that for this one specific change the main factor might be a shift in mentality towards alcohol.

I actually, now that I’ve read the OP, think that inflation might be another factor which isn‘t being communicated so openly.
