I mostly agree with the sentiment, but other prices which factor in to their operating costs will eke up over time as their suppliers also add on their 4% hikes to get to 'living wage'. Over time prices will go up, but... so what? They've already gone up plenty for a variety of reasons over the years.

The author of this article says most of the staff we're talking about here makes minimum wage, so we don't so much have to scare-quote "living wage".

  Wasn't trying to scare-quote so much as emphasize the idea in the GP comment.
