If one is going to derisively mock something, at least make sure to get the facts correct.
Having been in the restaurant business in one form or another for many years now, probably before puberty, it takes quite a bit more than just an “across the board ±25¢” price increase to cover what is, after July 1, 2017, an effective $2.00/hour raise for all employees..
And let’s not overlook the fact that the economic impact of increase minimum wages are not easily quantifiable, and even those that benefit directly from them (i.e., hourly workers) are not always in favor.
It’s a complex issue, that should not be shortshrifted either pro or con in a glib, off-the-cuff manner.
