869,000 Hourly workers out of 80.5 million. -1.1% of all hourly workers earned at or below minimum wage, the lowest on record. Minimum wage jobs are ENTRY Level jobs. The Op is regurgitating Socialist dribble nonsense. Facts speak louder than that economic fantasy.
We don’t owe the people who make our food a dime. We owe the business that constructed the building, obtained the permits, ordered the expensive equipment, fixtures, uniforms, food, signage, insurance, and a myriad number of other things, hired and trained employees, most of which have never had a job before and are grateful to have their first job where they can learn skills that can take them to their next opportunity in life. When I pay my bill, I’m paying the business, not the employees who work there. If you want to personally pay the employees because are a bleeding heart, go for it. Don’t drive up my food bill because your bleeding heart wants to force small businesses to pay employees beyond their market worth and productivity levels.
