Eating meals out in Seattle just got more expensive as tens of thousands of low wage workers got a raise this week to $11 an hour. It was the first scheduled pay increase on the way to $15 an hour, the highest minimum wage in the country.

stay home, throw a hamburger patty on the grill (where legal), make it yourself, it will even taste better.
>>Student workers protested this week and some say they’ll walk.
All part of the plan. More “jerbs that Murcans won’t do.”
Then do it. Go get a better job instead of all this crap
The State sez — “High costs for thee, but not for me! Die, peasants!”
I wonder if the libs ever considered how much harder it will be for the homeless folks to scrape together the scratch for a Big Mac.
So private business has to pony up, but the public sector “can’t afford the increase”, and is therefore exempt. Got it.
...and then when you get that job and find out a guy you know is making $25 an hour as a construction laborer will you consider moving up again, DOOFUS?
Throw it on the grill anyway. That is 'civil disobedience.'
nah, he will demand the minimum become $25
Sorry but the libs don’t care. You will give the homeless more scratch for their McDee’s burger and fries!
“But not everyone is celebrating a fatter paycheck. Public employers may not be bound by the $15 ordinance. Seattle’s biggest employer, with 39,000 employees, is the University of Washington. Officials say the money is not currently there to pay 2,600 student employees $11 an hour. They still are making the state minimum wage of $9.47.”
LOL. When tuition goes up to reflect a higher minimum wage will there be any complaints?
So he went down the street to The Rotten Oyster and hired on at $15.00/hour and was there for thirteen days. He was called in and dismissed, again for poor work ethic and calling in sick three of those days.
But he was optimistic. He said, "Places all over are paying $15.00 per hour so soon I will be in the middle class!"
> It also raised menu prices 21 percent. The famous Fish ‘n Chips will run you $20.60 and the Wild Alaska Halibut is now $43.50. The restaurant also wrote on the menu, “Tipping is no longer necessary…we have changed the way we pay our employees.”
I love it. Watch the employees bitch and moan about not being able to be tipped because they get paid $15 an hour now. I bet they end up making less per hour than if they just kept their mouths shut. They will learn a lesson about capitalism the hard way...
This will be GOOD FOR SOCIETY as it will encourage people to stay at home and fix their own meals, and be together with family and friends! I gotta thank them for that!
I hope they up the education level requirement to some college etc..
Maybe a degree in Math ???
Attention Homeless!!! — digging in the trash cans for hamburger butts is becoming more profitable.
If they were already netting more than $15 an hour, why did anyone want to raise the minimum wage for them?
...throw a hamburger patty on the grill (where legal)...”
Just dont let your grill smoke too much or you will get a ticket in liberal e o friendly Seattle.
