yeah, there would most definitely be an increase in food prices. Consider that the restaurant i am at right now has only 7% left over after you take out food, labor and incidentals...if servers were even paid minimum wage, 1, there would be fewer, so the service you did get would suck even more and 2, no one would do the job and 3, prices of food would increase about 20% just to keep a 7% profit margin
and how many jobs are someone paid based on their performance? Servers and shoe shiners, Commissioned sales people, and umm...other than that, you're market rate plus a bit or minus a bit, depending on situation..
