Let them eat liberalism.

Ha! Ha! How do you like those enforced wage increased now?

[Dilbert San Diego]

There could be other factors too. A liberal area such as the Bay Area likely has seen a number of vegan/organic/farm to table restaurants start up in recent years. But the market can only support so many of these types of places. Its likely that a number of marginal establishments went under.

And if so, that’s just capitalism at work. The market will let us all know, what the demand is for various goods and services.

Even liberal Bay Area types apparently don’t eat out in sufficient numbers, and willing to pay the higher costs of doing business,to support the number of restaurants which were there before the minimum wage hike.

California , in a state of Oblivion.. How predictable. A populace unaware of the continued dangers it faces at the hands of the Left.

According to a linked article, the entire Pasta Pomodoro chain, which served good inexpensive Italian cuisine, has closed. Even fine dining establishments are considering converting to a fast-casual format, in which customers order at the counter instead of receiving table service, as a means of cutting costs by shedding employees.

“Authorities remain baffled...”

As they are about so many things.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They were told that this was exactly what would happen.

Really after a wage jump to $15/hour restaurants are going out of business?? Jeez, I thought restaurants were in business to LOSE MONEY and to promote jobs for grade school drop outs.

Oh well, I guess liberals will increase it to $50/ hour soon...restaurants will then be opening...(without liberals).

All they had to do was contact the owners of the closed restaurants to find the answer. They didn’t want to know the answer because they guessed it would be the $15 minimum wage.
