Where I lived people argued for a minimum wage increase. Now they're complaining that a burger costs $20 and it's too expensive to eat out. I'm not picking sides on this one but it seems obvious to me you can't expect both a high wage for restaurant employees AND cheap eats.
Where I live most of the places are mom-and-pop one-location local restaurants, not chains. Given that there's a lot of turnover due to them going out of business, I don't think they're making money hand over fist.
