I totally agree but unfortunately a lot of people can take the same situation and twist it up to fit their own views.
Where I live we just passed a minimum wage increase. A fairly substantial one that keeps up with the rest of the country by increasing every year until we hit 15 an hour in a few years. It's been a couple of years into it and someone asked why local restaurants are ending services, closing some locations, increasing prices, shrinking their menus, and basically cutting costs. I saw a lot of answers that boiled down to "greed" and my favorite was "labor costs are increasing" because of "late stage capitalism".
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of answers you see in the wild involves doing exactly what we've been doing but on a larger scale.
- mortivore 7y agoKind of off topic, but I'm very much a fan of the "shrinking their menus" effect. Restaurants have way too many things on their menus. This usually means that they aren't very good at those things leading to lower quality food. Smaller menus generally mean a restaurant is going to be more focused, and able to produce quality food. I'm all for quality food.
- bobloblaw45 7y agoYeah from what I understand it's actually a good thing. I also love the small menu restaurants, especially the smaller hole in the wall places since you know it's probably going to be great stuff.
