Hm, interesting perspective, and one that hadn't occurred to me. If that's the case, then I hope we'll return to a free market where there's price discovery which will help restaurant owners determine the price that will support these higher wages. And, while I'm sure my view on this will be unpopular, if they can't operate profitably, they shouldn't be operating at all.
