The raising of the minimum wage makes it hard to afford good people for us bottom feeders. When the min. wage was lower there was more money for good employees (hourly wages and bonuses). With a small restaurant in a rural town, I just can't raise prices that fast to make up the for the added expense.

I really believe that the min. wage is increased not for the poor employee, but to add to FICA.
Also there are a lot of expenses that are tied directly to payroll, w/c insurance and unemployment insurance.
