Having been a manager in the food industry, this is obviously going to happen every time you raise minimum wage. First you raise the prices, and the customers complain about it. Then, you lower hours and cut shifts short to keep labor costs low.

The fact is, the minimum wage workers have zero skills, no work ethic, and generally suck as employees. Those that don't suck quickly reach a supervisor or shift leader role and make more than minimum wage.

Your statements about minimum wage earners is true across any industry. I manage for healthcare (which includes food service) and I would expand that to most entry level position /wages. Entry level LPNs often share the work ethic of your dishwashers.
