When the minimum wage took effect so did business's desire to charge way more than was needed, if any, to cover the minuscule increase in wages. When my men get pay increase the cost of business stays the same.New Yorkers Shocked To Find Food Prices Rising After Minimum Wage Hike
New Yorkers shocked to find food prices rising after minimum wage hike
The result of the Fight for 15 movement in New York City has finally gone into effect. The minimum wage jumped by 15% in many cases, to $15 per hour this month. This mostly affects employers of lower skill level workers, particularly in the food service and beverage industries. And now that labor costs have risen, restaurants from fast food joints to upper-end fine dining establishments have raised their prices. As a result, some people have had to make adjustments in their budgets and lifestyles, going out to eat less often and bringing their own lunches to work.
As you might imagine, that’s not only been annoying for the customers. It’s impacting the restaurant business as well. (NY Post)
New York City’s hotly contested minimum wage increase to $15 — up from $13 or $13.50, depending on employer size — rolled out citywide at the start of the year. And although that’s good news for NYC restaurant servers, patrons are grumbling about its impact on menu prices at their favorite eateries.Holy cow. Who could have seen that coming? Well… pretty much everybody. And that includes the Democrats who passed the $15 per hour minimum wage bill. How did they plan on offsetting the significant bump in dinner bills? By eliminating tipping for the wait staff. That idea went over like a lead balloon and was quickly abandoned by a number of eateries that tried it.
Ahead of the wage hike, the NYC Hospitality Alliance conducted a survey of 574 local food establishments in late 2018. They found that 87 percent of respondents planned to increase menu prices this year to offset the minimum wage bump. True to their promise, the cost of food has risen at various spots around the city.

Really!! Is anyone surprised? This happens EVERY TIME you hike the minimum wage for your socialist schemes. But supposedly THIS time would be different because the right people were in charge, RIGHT?!
Indeed, those Progressive Democrats either did not take any or slept through basic economics classes in school. If raising the minimum wage for service industry workers won't impact those businesses, then NOT raising it will have no impact on the workers, right?
Progressive Democrats majority in Congress is the next step to Venezuela's economy.

/----/ Well when New Yorkers keep electing these socialist to office and cheer on their Prog agenda - reality always smacks them in the face. They were convinced the small businesses had money trees growing in their back yard and would absorb the higher wages. Next - layoffs of low skill workers.New Yorkers Shocked To Find Food Prices Rising After Minimum Wage Hike

Does anyone see the unsustainability of this? How much pollution is caused by going out to eat? think of all the affordable housing we could create in closed restaurants......simply immoral to let this continue.

The raises he gave his employees weren't mandated for every worker in every job at the time therefore the raises he gave only affected his business
Since labor is only 20% of the price, doubling the labor costs only raises the price 20%. Try and remain calm. The number of people that can afford the cost more than makes up for it. Scumbag GOP propaganda has given us incredibly rich people, the worst inequality and upward mobility in our history. GOP voters are the stupidest voters in the world, thanks to the worst propaganda machine in our history..
