Increased labor cost passed on to consumers is a hidden tax — the cost of over-doing workers’ comp.
So your prefer paying the increased cost through taxes via welfare programs like food stamps? We live in the United States of America, the richest country in the World. We aren’t a country that should be willing to let our citizen’s go hungry or homeless, no matter the reason they are in that position. If you can’t afford to pay roughly $3 more for your burger, you probably shouldn’t be going out to eat to begin with. I live somewhere with a $15/hr minimum wage and my life (other than rent and gas) isn’t noticeably more expensive than Indiana. Restaurants hadn’t closed after the wage increase. Just accept the fact that anyone working 40 hour weeks shouldn’t live in poverty.
Nice of you to tell people what they should and shouldn’t be doing, Wesley…a true liberal to the Nth degree.
Hungry or homeless no matter the reason they are in that position? Right; even if they are perfectly capable of working, the rest of us should subsidize them to stay home, procreate, and watch TV, right? Geeze, do you need a healthy dose of reality…
Republicans finally getting it through their thick skull. Pay your workers a living wage, and maybe they’ll come work for you. What an idea. If it makes my burger cost an extra $3.00 it’s worth it.
Yet democrats still don’t understand that printing fantasy money causes inflation.
Bigot
Yes, and Republicans still don’t understand that trickle down economics doesn’t work either.
Restaurants can’t hire because they don’t pay enough. It’s right here in the article:
“ Several former Loughmiller employees simply moved on to other work during the pandemic, Scotten said. In many cases, it was a job with better pay and daytime hours. His own experience with having been laid off made him realize the importance of spending time with his son, and many in the restaurant industry have used the pandemic as a time to re-evaluate their priorities.”
“I think a lot of people used this last year to reflect and go out and find something else they want to do,” he said. “People came back with a little higher sense of value for their time.”
And how many businesses have you run or managed, Bryan? How many paychecks have you signed on the front, rather than on the back?
I’m having trouble figuring out why all these ‘living wage’ folks haven’t taken advantage of the tens of thousands of shuttered businesses, become owners, and shown us all how it’s done by now…
So, the current restaurant business model doesn’t work? Well, duh. It’s one of the biggest scams in all of industry – and all we have to show for it is a majority of places being of substandard quality.
If someone can make $600 a week on unemployment vs. $650 working 5 shifts serving tables, which option will they choose?
It’s not hard to figure this out. The Gov. unemployment program now has unintended consequences on labor markets.
Ultimately we could see the majority of the restaurant industry change the front-of-the-house model. The neighborhood restaurant could survive in its current form as servers typically live in the community and enjoy working a stress-free gig.
I’d take the $600 so I could volunteer and actually help people. Welfare is even worse. You can’t make any money or you loose your benefits. I’m not naïve. I know people work the system and scam it. But what about those who honestly want to work but can’t physically, or some legitimate reason, work a full time job?
