Until the prices get too high and they don't sell as many bowls. And then they don't need as many people.....
But we were told that they would just ‘absorb’ it.
SF is a no-fly zone for me.
If I were running such a business, I’d put the surcharge right on the printed receipt..about a 2 minute software change.
There is also a ripple effect that goes way beyond the minimum wage worker. Union negotiators use the minimum wage as a bench mark for negotiating union wages. If the minimum wage goes up 14%, then the unions will demand a 14% increase to maintain the gap between the minimum wage for "unskilled workers" and the union wage for semi-skilled and skilled union workers. Government and businesses beholden to the unions, end up paying more for union employees and services, and they pass the increase to taxpayers and consumers in the form of higher taxes, fees, and prices, leaving the average worker poorer than they were before the minimum wage increase.
I’m not in the food business but I have to think that there’s a fine line between making a profit and closing the doors. In my area Bob Evans just closed up 4 locations other places appear to be constantly changing hands. I can’t remember the last time I went to an actual sit down type joint for dinner. I suppose I could afford a night out once in awhile but I can’t justify spending the amount of money most places have to charge.
you don’t understand....... inflation of wages and prices is absolutely necessary to provide the money working folk need to buy health insurance
Obamacare needs inflation to survive
the call went out in 2011 for increases. only now is there a glimmer of it happening
additionally, the general inflation weakens the $ and devalues the $18 trillion debt
Yes, but of course prices will rise 14%! That does not matter to the leftists that the overall quality of life will go down for the target population. The price rise gives leftists someone to blame while they go after another 15% raise.
The low information voters will continue to support the leftists until they run out of other people’s money.
Isn’t that racist?
It wasn’t that long ago that a McDonald’s breakfast special consisting of an egg sandwich, hash browns and coffee cost less than three dollars. Now it’s more than five.
