“The interesting thing about wage increases at restaurants is that it doesn’t affect the cost of food at all. It only affects the cost of restaurant food” What on earth does that mean?
I probably could have been more clear. What I mean is it only affects the price of food you buy at restaurants. Since that’s where the increase in the cost of doing business will be passed on to the customer. And if they jack up the wages of people who work in grocery stores and the wages of truck drivers that deliver to the stores then food at grocery stores will go up as well.
But in the short run, jacking up the wages of restaurant workers will only affect the prices of things you buy at restaurants.
