That’s the restaurant and cafe business in general. So I guess you’re saying “restaurants and cafes shouldn’t exist”?

No, how did my comment lead you to believe that I want all cafes and restaurants to close!? Restaurants and cafes are everywhere, and I am sure most of them will still be around even after the pay increase to staff wages.

People deserve to be paid fairly for their work, and i think it's wrong to deny them that just so some businesses can continue operating.
