Minimum Wage Killer In Plain Sight

I won't rehash the latest aggressive attempts to raise the minimum wage through the roof for foodservice workers (Mark Perry has it well-covered).

All I will add is that none of these geniuses appear to have been to an airport recently.  If they had, they'd have seen one of these.

They are taking over.  Last year I only noticed them in the swankier airports, now they cropping up everywhere.  Usually there are 2-3 chefs behind the counter and only one server taking care of a large amount of patrons.  If I was in the med-fast service restaurant business and you slapped a minimum wage hike on me, I'd throw up one of these puppies.  Sophisticated consumers are already quite used to it.
