Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,112 and has fallen 96.5% since, to $38 in 2021.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
