    If your business model requires you to pay your workers less than a livable wage, you do not have a viable business model.

    Restaurants are getting killed by greedflation not higher wages. When everything is expensive people start cutting back on discretionary expenses like eating out.

      Yup, my SO is a tattoo artist who is about to have to close up shop because the economy is fucked, and isn’t going to get better any time soon.

      Luxuries are the first to go when people start tightening their belts.

      Prices have skyrocketed along with tipping exploding beyond reason. The last place I sat down to eat had automatic options of 20, 25, and 30 percent.

      I remember 15% being customary and anything above 20% being super generous.
