Officials say San Francisco will become the first major U.S. city to increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour Sunday under a ballot measure approved by voters in 2014.

Within a short while price inflation will make it an unlivable wage. What then, Oh geniuses of the Left?
It will soon be the trendy thing in all San Fransicko restaurants, for people to provide their own service and bus their own tables. Probably even wash their own dishes.
This will not end well. Expect victims of the Law of Unintended Consequences to start piling up by year end.
And now you have restaurants laying off workers. Serve yourself.
If they thought they had a problem with insects before, wait until that happens.

Some small restaurants are already doing it, in San Fransicko.
Good, I want all the SJW’s from the other 49 states to move to San Fran...should make Pelosi happy.
More money to give landlords after the next rate hike.
Simple. Raise the minimum wage to 100 dollars an hour.
HUD says a family of four in San Francisco or San Mateo County with an income of 105,350 is now considered “low income.”

As soon as they can purchase robotic wait staff, cooks, and greeters you can bet they will at the drop of a hat.
And the unemployed will blame everyone and everything except the real culprits.
My first job as a bus boy paid $1.00 an hour, plus a percentage of the waiters tips.
I worked at the St.Johns diner next to the OTB on Liberty Ave and Lefferts Blvd.
Henry Hill and the Vario/Lucchese crew were regular customers.
