Fresh-egg gouging?

March 25, 2020 12:00 am • Last Updated: March 25, 2020 6:12 pm

I wanted to buy eggs at a local large chain supermarket and there was a sign that said, "Due to the high demand and shortness of supply, our vendor has increased prices. Sorry for your inconvenience."

Isn't this price gouging?
