I see great sales ahead for microwave meals.
“Restaurants will have to pay their workers enough to compete with the pot growers.”
$22 per hour is more than double what restaurants pay in this CO town. One must wonder if restaurants can take that hit.
In Boulder 40 years ago I made enough cooking in upscale restaurants to live pretty well as a single guy. That means I had purchasing power equal to more than $22 per hour.
Perhaps inflation drove up costs to the point that restaurants can no longer pay that much.
