Yes, it would be nice, but your employer is experiencing the higher prices and struggling just like you are. This means higher overhead and less profits.
Never heard of an employer having a sliding scale with salaries to compensate for spikes in higher consumable goods.
That would put them out of business and result in more unemployment.
I understand your point and agree in general that it is not the employers place to take up the slack. Although my employer will never feel the pinch of higher gas prices cause it just gets passed on to the customers. It is just one of those things that I cannot change that I like to complain about .
