I should have been more clear, but I didn't have coffee yet.
$18/hr being "great" was meant to compare to what I hear people tend to make in that position, not that it is objectively great as a living wage for a family.
My post was a little twist-and-turn - I was thinking about two related things, one being the tactical issue of wages in food service, and the other macro issue about the fact that this country has enough wealth in it for everyone to be well taken care of.
