re: Waffle House workers are the latest group to strike, requesting $25 per hour

Why stop at $25, go for $30 or more? One day even the stupid people will realize that prices go up to cover that increase. So they pay more all over town and the dog continues to chase the tail. They are trying to make it a living wage when it was meant to only be an entry level work type job and you move on to better pay when someone comes in to steal you. I have businesses where people don't come in to steal them bc they suck at their job and there are few out there to replace them. They are worth $3/hour but we are forced to pay much higher and can't demand they are good workers and treat any customer great. The culture only exist at a couple places and it's hard to replicate.
