Restaurants are adding labor surcharges to help offset minimum wage increases

BUT BUT BUT Libtards laughed when Republicans said higher minimum wages will drive up food costs.

Restaurant diners are footing the bill for rising minimum wages.

In lieu of steep menu price increases, many independent and regional chain restaurants in states including Arizona, California, Colorado and New York are adding surcharges of 3% to 4% to help offset rising labor costs. Industry analysts expect the practice to become widespread as more cities and states increase minimum wages.

“It’s the emerging new norm,” said Sharokina Shams, spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association. She said California restaurants are adding surcharges as the state lifts the minimum wage every year until it reaches $15 an hour by 2023. It is currently at $10.50 an hour for employers with 26 or more workers.

and?

because you have to pay 5 cents more for your disgusting fast food, they should work for subpar wages?
you'll just have to pay five cents more for your fat and salt.

automatic of certain places would have happened anyway. they didn't close normal places they just added income.

stop whining because you can't earn a decent wage and are bitter
/---- I make plenty of money. I'm one of those evil rich people you Libs harp about all of the time. I don't eat any type of fast food. And it's not 5 cents. Why do you Libs have to lie about everything?

Yes, flunky type work merits subpar wages. You do it for a short while and move on, hopefully up. If you career is burger flipping you deserve a subpar life. I scraped by many years and never once thought someone owed me a decent living. What a spineless generation we are raising.

Companies and store owners only turn to automation when human labor costs outweigh the investment and maintenance of automation. Thanks to Commie Care, it cost companies more to have human labor because healthcare insurance is expensive and became more expensive as time went on. Now you throw in increased minimum wage and you're options are now in front of you: human labor--automation?

When your employer gives you a dollar an hour raise, that's only the start of his cost. When you make more money, you contribute more to Social Security and Medicare which your employer has to double. It costs the employer more for unemployment insurance and workman's compensation. He has to pay you more for holiday and vacation pay.

So when you see minimum wage go up by five dollars, it's not just a loss of five dollars per hour by the employer.
 
It is one thing to be a teacher, and another thing to teach. So many "Teachers are just indoctrinators who are there for the check. They are union protected and they are so far below the actual baseline of intellect required to be a teacher it is pathetic. The problem is The Unions of today have nothing in common with the unions that built America. It is a FACT that they have become political PACs and are run for the most part by people who are paid operatives of the dimshit party.
Schools with union teachers perform better than non-Union schools
really?

Then why do homeschooled kids routinely beat their public school counterparts in all testing
Because homeschool kids are spoiled little brats who have had mommy hovering around them their whole lives
Public schools have to take all children regardless of parental motivation

Kids are threatened by the idea of having to go to school, so they do try harder. After all, if you don't do well studying at home, the parents ship you off to school.

I hated going to school when I was a kid, and if we had home schooling at the time, I would have done much better simply by the thought of having to go to school.
Some kids thrive in a public school environment. They are subjected to kids of different backgrounds and teachers trained in multiple fields.
Other kids need mommy to screen the kids they meet and monitor every aspects of their lives

True, but employer and employee split the FICA tax 50/50.
 
Waitresses and bartenders aren't going to whine about getting 15 an hour because a lot of them can make 20 or more an hour when tips are included.

No one will tip a waitress who makes 15 an hour

15 bucks where?

Minnesota Restaurant Adds Minimum Wage Surcharge To Customer Bills - Say Anything

That place put on a surcharge because the minimum wage was raised to 8 bucks.

There's a nice tidbit in that link. Look at the bill. This restaurant is getting 8 bucks for a cheeseburger, but they're claiming they can't afford to pay the help 8 bucks an hour.

lol

As the price of Hamburger went up, restaurants had no qualms charging $8 for a burger and passing on the cost
Now that ground beef prices have come down, they keep selling $8 burgers
But feel a need to hold their employees up for scorn

Right.

And they choose to humiliate their employees, by putting a wage surcharge on the bill, a way of saying it's the help's fault your meal costs what it costs,

but where is the beef surcharge? The fuel surcharge? the boss's wife wants a new car surcharge?

Eh. Blame the least of us, the employees, for the woes of the well off.

Human beings understand that the bill covers all expenses but the wage hike is new and it explains the sudden price increase. Sorry it had to be explained.
 
Oh, btw, there are too many restaurants around in the first place.

Beef prices close to doubled since 2000. Put THAT on the bill if you want to cry about something.

It's very considerate of the owner to inform patrons who think that workers make too much to not frequent his restaurant anymore.

There was no beef surcharge when the price of a burger nearly doubled
Who ever heard of paying $8 for a burger?

What is the purpose of that 35 cent min wage surcharge?

Get the customer to take the 35 cents out of the tip

What could possibly be wrong with homeschooling?
Means I don't have pay to educate the little brat

Not now, but as it continues it's popularity, we may be able to syphon some of those school dollars to pay parents to educate their kids, and who knows, maybe other kids nearby their home as well.

This is true. You on the left love when costs are hidden instead of the honest approach of telling you what really is going on.

you'll just have to pay five cents more for your fat and salt.

automatic of certain places would have happened anyway. they didn't close normal places they just added income. and they charged a little extra so their billions in profits aren't affected.

stop whining because you can't earn a decent wage and are bitter because big macs are too expensive for you
MW is not sub par it is par by the legal definition
 
Or maybe they are putting it on the bill to show their customers what happens when they support something as idiotic as a huge minimum wage increase: somebody has to pay for that increase.

Or maybe it's way of letting petty douchebags know not to come back to the restaurant.
