“ It’s like they sit up at night fretting over a dishwasher could be, somewhere making $20.00/hr.”
I doubt anyone cares what a dishwasher is paid except the dishwasher. If I eat in a restaurant, I hope he did a good job. Frankly, I hate tipping. Just pay the employee.
The problem isn't if a dishwasher is making $20/hr, it's when dishwashers in general are making $20 an hour. That's similar to what much more advanced or technical jobs make. So when the dishwashers are making double their 'normal' wage, that's gonna mean prices need to go up to cover that, and every other job's wages need to be twice as much to cover the boost.
The issue is that a job for someone with little to no skills, experience, or training should only be worth a minimal amount. And when that minimal amount goes up, so does everything.

I live in a Midwest metro area with a population of about +200K people. Good luck trying to find anybody to clean your house or cut your grass for less than $20 per hour.

When that minimal amount goes up, so does everything go up MINIMALLY.
