Here it is comparable to eat at a modest restaurant rather than eat fast food. It helps keep us away from there, which i'm sure is good in the long run health wise but the problem has already begun with employment. More and more older people are conceding for these jobs and working there now and those jobs that would normally go to youth are disappearing. Our inflation has already gone up so fast that its had a direct impact everyone. People who once earned a modest living in the middle class are essentially earning less because the cost of living has gone way up and we aren't even a year into this huge min wage hike.

There has to be a better way...
