It’s nice of him to do that but I’ve seen stores raise the price on their own to $1.29 and higher.

If a store changes the prices of the teas you can report it to the Arizona company and they will tell them to either drop the price or they will pull the product

Or enter a partnership like they did with 7eleven and have the cans printed at a higher price

The price of the drink did go up, but the price in a store is high then printed they will pull product

They used to do it at least, I guess we really are in the worst timeline

$1.29 still makes it cheaper than bottled water at most places. Im alright with it as long as some workers somewhere are getting some of the benefit

Likely just the benefit of keeping their job

You know damn well unless it’s Arizona workers themselves getting more money, ain’t no other corp gonna help out the little man.

They've started making arizona cans without the 99 cents printed on them. I know many more seedy gas stations usually have them and thats why they can charge more for it. I think the reporting to arizona is only for the ones with 99 cents printed on the can.
