QUOTE Ok, chicken little!  Been to the grocery store lately?  Yes I have, I didn't realize the grocery stores around here we're paying $15 bucks an hour ... Oh that's right they don't, must be more of that "pass it along" mentality.
I meant inflation, sorry for the misunderstanding.

But while we're at it, stocking shelves and ringing up groceries is worth what the market will bear, nothing more.

Better skip the salad also:

The term "what the market will bear" goes hand and hand with " living wage" neither can really be quantified.

So here we are in Stillwater where a restaurant has line-itemed in the actual cost of the minimum wage increase.

Wow, I guess the truth stings a bit. The restaraunt was only being truthful, raising the wage costs money. They could have been like most other places and just rewrite the menu and work it in but I see they took a stand, good for them. I heard that Gov. Spineless thought it was tacky, f##k him! Typical for a socialist like him.

G-man, the owner explained himself. Can you really find fault with his actions? I mean really, do you honestly think the different in gross isn't going to make a difference on the profit/loss statement?
QUOTE Oasis Cafe responded on Facebook, confirming the increase in labor cost has to be offset by an increase in revenue in order for the restaurant to profit.
With regards to why we're charging a $.35 fee to cover the recent $.75 increase in minimum wage…we estimate the increase in labor cost will cost our company more than $10,000 per year…which has to be offset by an increase in revenue in order to operate profitably. Rather than increase the prices of our menu items, we chose to charge a flat fee. If the state of Minnesota would pass tip credit, like 43 other states have done, none of this would be necessary. For what it's worth, we pay our people very well. Our dishwashers start at $10/hour, our cooks start at $12/hour and our servers average more than $20 when you consider what they earn in tips.
Here's a bit more to boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person.
QUOTE At least one other restaurant has taken similar measures in light of the minimum wage increase. Blue Plate Co., a Twin Cities-based company that owns eight restaurants, has increased prices and has begun to charge its servers when a customer uses a credit card to tip them. Twincities.com

My wife picked me up some Kentucky Fried chicken this week and the kid there told her the price of chicken went up because Minnesota raised the minimum wage. Even if that's the case I'm cool with paying a little more if it will get working people out of poverty.
It seems you republicans would rather see them living in poverty, getting public assistance and have them beholden to the government.
