Restaurants Are About to Get Even Worse, But We Can Stop It
Sysco just announced a $29 billion deal to buy a huge competitor, Restaurant Depot.
Restaurant Depot is a lifeline for small restaurants and food trucks.
If it moves forward, the deal could leave consumers and restaurant owners with even fewer choices and higher prices.

Monopolies are supposed to be illegal. So fucking sick of this ……
I find it so stupid that we have stores that only certain people/entities can shop at. People make literal billions from exclusivity. We The People should change that (and the whole capitalist system).
Bring back trust busting.
Yeah, Sysco sucks but they aren't making the restaurants charge $50 for some still frozen poppers & then demanding a 20% tipš
It sounds like we're heading towards the "Soylent Green" timeline. Good luck humanity.
Isn't capitalism great!
I won't eat it at a sysco restaurant once I know it's sysco.I'm not going in
If only restaurants werenāt disgusting and miserable and a proudly abusive business model
When will Americans wake up and go back to growing their food? Everything is fake and Beyond Meat and Impossible meat is people.
All monopolies need to be broken up.
I thought Capitalism "liked" competition š
This is why we can't have nice things in an under regulated market. Monopolies thrive and we get stuck with the consequences
If you donāt live in a major city with a real restaurant scene, idk why you would ever bother eating out beyond a quick convenience meal.
This administration is criminally corrupt. I'm very much in doubt if they will stop any of these conglomerations.
I've despised the quality of food at restaurants over the last 10-15 years.
This Administration has them in their pockets. DOWN WITH SYSCO!
Thank god I'm a good cook and already gave up with all restaurants even fast food due to the prices. The quality is usually ass as well. Got a burger from Five Guys and not only did it cost nearly as much as 2 pounds of ground beef, it was unseasoned and didnt even have enough salt.
IDK what is wrong with Americans always having out of control greed but they need to be stopped soon
Greed, greed, greed! After they completely destroy the environment, they'll find a way to charge us for the air we breathe.
Corporations: "Clean Air $1000 per bag"
Breaking up Sysco would be good for everyone except a few individuals.
Wendy's just enshitified the Spicy Chicken Sandwhich.
How i love the uncheck capitalism!
Unrestrained capitalism will destroy the US
Screw you, University of Chicago! Monopoly is NOT good!
When we are through with this current shit storm I WANT TO SEE ALL GIANT CORPORATIONS BUSTED DOWN TO MOM & POP SIZE. AND ALL CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS WRITTEN INTO THE CONSTITUTION. I am sick of this shit!
Oddly a lot of stuff from CISCO actually tastes greatā¦
I honey a lot of us will be cooking meals at home
Really need the next president to be like Teddy.
I use to work for this company iām your bad company. They donāt wanna pay you nothing they want you to slave and working and donāt wanna pay you nothing.
Thnx Sysco š¢ pos imho š®
You sounded a little emotionally broken when you said ājalapeƱo popperā it really helped convey the message
The Sherman Antitrust Act needs to be enforced.
Yeah unless we revolt, nothing will happen. Maybe this deal going through will finally make the retarded pacified Americans finally do it.
Boo hoo. Cook at home..
Do better.
Sysco is a horrible company. Their customer service is substandard. And their food tastes fake and lacks freshness. This guy in the video speaks the absolute truth.
We just stopped going to restaurants.
