Actions have consequences. If the law demands I must raise wage levels, then consumers must know that prices will also increase.
FTA.....
Despite online boycott threats, business has actually increased so far this week, Orcutt said.

I think it’s a good idea. Let the customers know why the prices have risen, rather than having them vaguely blame inflation or the greedy restaurant owners.
There’s a better way, IMHO: call it “Directive 10-289 Tax”, and 99% of the LIVs will never get it. If they ask, he can just say “it’s a local sales tax.”
and they still want a Tip ?
This is awesome. Prices are a communique’ and I like what is being said here.
On another site there was a comment:
If they can’t afford to pay their employees, they shouldn’t be in business.
Still scratching my head on that one.
Is there anything Liberals can't make worse?
It was a very bad idea.
Back in 2006, the Minnesota Legislature (including the GOP-controlled House) passed a bill that pretty much gave away the farm so that an all-new pro baseball stadium could be built here.
Worse yet, the Legislature made Hennepin County (the most populous county in the state) pay for all of it and refused to lwet county voters hold a referendum as to whether they wished to be taxed for it.
Bachman’s a major floral retailer in Minnesota, set it up so that on everyone’s receipt was a line showing how much they had just “contributed” to the Twins stadium fund.
I saw nothing wrong with it then and I see nothing wrong with what this restaurant did. People need to get an upfront slap in the face sometimes so that they can really see the consequences of votes made by their elected officials.
So if people boycott the restaurant and it goes out of business, how does this help the out-of-work employees get the new minimum wage?
The thing about liberals is that they want to be able to tell others how to spend money, but they don't want someone telling them how to spend their own.
Boycott a place for discussing what you (min. wage advocates) wanted??? Okay...
Maybe a good idea, but it reminds me of something. I don’t know about other states, but here in New York, it is illegal for gas stations to advertise how much of the price of a gallon of gas is state and federal taxes. What, are they embarrassed?
Why is he paying servers even $7.25 an hour? The federal minimum wage for tipped servers is still $2.13 an hour. If state law requires $8 an hour for tipped employees then you’ll see restaurants go self serve or out of business.
Stupid liberals.
Stupid people complaining wouldn’t be complaining if the guy simply increased the food prices.
