So what you’re telling me is, people do want to work? Who knew?

Hear that, folks? Markets work. 🙂

Genuinely happy for everyone involved in this story. The real test will be how much top line revenues are impacted when the higher menu prices kick in next month.

The Caribbean-food chain is raising prices by up to 6% in December to fund higher labor costs.

A full platter of food is $10.39, you raise that 6% and you get $11.01 as your price. I think they’re going to do fine.

And they can earn respect if they use $11.01 instead of $10.99. Though best to round to $11 (unless you guys have done away with pennies like we have in Canada and it’s always rounded to the nearest $.05).

PeleSpirit ,

Nope, we still have pennies and they cost more to make than they’re worth. 🤷

Imagine if everyone paid enough then everyone could afford to buy shit so the businesses would actually make more. 🤯

Helped end the “dirt cheap labor” shortage.

There isn’t a labor shortage, we should call it a wage shortage

Right, because if it were an actual shortage, you couldn’t just “end” it, just like that.
