Expecting the govt to subsidize the low wages restaurants pay to skilled food service workers was a scam that had to end eventually.

The service industry is a horribly broken thing that has limped along on subsidized wages for decades.
-
Generally speaking, smaller owner operated really can't afford to pay their workers more. Margins on food are razor thin.
-
The bottom line is that food service industry NEEDS to change. It's a VERY difficult business.
-
On the one hand its not right for some restaurants to subsidize rest. margins via tips. On the other many rests can't survive without it
-
The solution, of course, is probably slightly higher prices. But we need a larger middle class with disposable income first.
-
Higher min wage is necessary, but it only benefits economy if the middle class expands as a result.

diners shouldn't be SUBSIDIZING a profitable business owner's labor costs. No other industry relies on customers paying the help

can you imagine a toolmajer hitting up the foundry client for 20% on that $6000 mold? Never

Jeremy Merrin: “It’s going up too fast.” WTF does the speed in which wages are raised have to do with anything?
-
My guess is he means relative to inflation
-
Wages have not kept up with inflation. Had that been the case, the minimum wage would have reached $21.72 an hour by 2012.

Oh, thanks for the info
