[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to pay the higher prices for the higher minimum wage.  That’s it.  You can’t pay more unless you collect more. [/quote]

That’s fine, but the quality needs to be there as well. Food quality has been lacking so many places lately and orders constantly getting messed up. At some point the scale tips toward it just not being worth the price.

Cheap eats places will still do fine (there’s a Mediterranean place near us that has GIANT reasonably priced bowls of kebab meat, chick peas, rice, etc. which we’re happy to pay for because it’s good and there’s leftovers).

The fine dining places will do ok because those were always special occasions where you knew you’d blow some money. And the quality is mostly there.

It’s all these middle of the road places with just ok basic food, sub par service, and heightened prices that are in trouble. But honestly some of them should close. If their pre-pandemic business model was to rely on lowly paid labor, then that wasn’t really a success to begin with.[/quote]

Agree with all of this.  My family used to go out for dinner at a mid-price restaurant once a week, and now we never go to those places because while we can afford it, it simply isn't worth the cost.[/quote]
