Liberals subscribe to magical thinking, believing that free college tuition and free health care to illegals will somehow end up a net win for the public. But reality often intrudes on this magical thinking like a big pimple on the end of your nose, and it is painful and unsightly. In this case, the laws of economics are intruding into the magical thinking of liberal politicians in San Francisco (as if there were any other kind there), and it is a growing problem.
San Francisco has declared that the minimum wage in the city, now being replicated in several other fact-challenged cities, will rise to $15 by 2018, and polls there predict happy, better-paid workers who will finally have a “living wage.” They have also insisted that this will not increase inflation and that it will be a boon to the minimum wage worker. That is a lie. And the impact is just now showing up as the first mandated rise from $10.74 to $12.25 is being implemented by certain retailers.
See who is raising prices in San Francisco, page 2:
You don’t get something for nothing someone has to pay the bill !!
For restaurants, hit with raising the minimum wage…to survive…you can not raise prices to much. you have to cut portions, cut workers, can not cut quality…or your business will go out of business….
This article seems to believe that labor is a business only expense.
watch soon they will have computers take in orders
better pay less jobs
Bad move!
LOVE IT!!!!!
The restaurant staff are only the tip of this iceberg. So, if someone has to serve you, you may not be able to afford it anymore.
You dont have to cut nothin but your shareholders and your own profit..
.. keep on working that plan to tax the state into prosperity …
