Landlord charging 149 euros for a Wiener Schnitzel!

Austrian innkeeper raises his prices in response to skyrocketing electricity bills – but only for certain customers.

Rising energy costs are a major problem throughout Europe, with the restaurant industry feeling the full effects. Now, an Austrian landlord has protested against his high electricity bill in an unusual way: he now charges 149 euros for a wiener schnitzel instead of the usual 25 euros, and for a soup he’s asking for 43 euros; the salad costs 54 euros.

But these prices only apply to employees of energy suppliers, according to the landlord, who is enraged that his electricity bill has risen from 300 to more than 5,000 euros. According to Austrian media reports, inn owner Ulrich Matlschweiger wants to punish the electricity producers who, in his opinion, “make money out of the crisis”. The innkeeper said, “Employees of these companies should pay unusually high prices.”
