Well you almost have a point.
We have been paying many of them all along
There are several companies, like Wal*mart, where many (over half for WM) of the workers qualify for Food Stamps.. So we the people are subsidizing WM because WM should be paying them as they work there. I have a lot more against WM but .. enough for now.
Restaurants can pay TIPPED workers as little as 2.50/hr (Note I may have rounded a bit) federal minimum is 7.75. They are expected to earn 5.35 or more in tips every hour.. That Tip I leave is to thank the waiter/ress for the prompt service NOT the management. Management gets the profit on the meal. Walking in the door and ordering is thanking them... This is pure theft and should be illegal.
One Ice Cream parlor decided to try 15.00/hr (He was getting no applicants) got 1,500 applicants dang near over night.
he hired some.. they are still with him, As they gain experience they make fewer mistakes... he's not had to hire new folks and train 'em (Costly) and many customers well they are greeted by name and the order is already in the works (That happens to me on Sunday mornings at one restaurant, they don't even give me a menu.. I know what I want and so do that.. Of course that dish is why I'm there :) )
The result. No price increase and no profit decrease.
