    Seattle restaurants have panicked about the issue all year long, saying many won’t stay afloat as wages rise

    Seems like your business model is the problem then. Why should everyone get paid less, just so you can remain in business?

      That’s the restaurant and cafe business in general. So I guess you’re saying “restaurants and cafes shouldn’t exist”?

        No, how did my comment lead you to believe that I want all cafes and restaurants to close!? Restaurants and cafes are everywhere, and I am sure most of them will still be around even after the pay increase to staff wages.

        People deserve to be paid fairly for their work, and i think it’s wrong to deny them that just so some businesses can continue operating.
