I am supportive of higher minimum wages, but I think those who agree should recognize and accept that a business exists to make money. Where one cost rises, a business will find a way to reduce costs in other area. Be it lower quality food, less employees, or in this case, less attention to sanitary conditions. It's too bad a city can't take the radical, opposite step and get rid of the minimum wage all together. That would be a very interesting experiment.

Didn't we already run that experiment in the United States, from its founding up through the early 20th century? In what ways do you suppose things would differ today?
