Unsurprisingly, the minimum wage hikes going around, have the obvious effect of raising prices. So there's a Cafe in Minnesota that's printing receipts with the price increase spelled out.
The reaction amongst LibProgs is pretty much what you'd expect. Now obviously, everyone else is doing essentiality same thing - they're just hiding in that line that says BLACK&BLUE BURGER - instead of 9.00 it would be 9.35 and no one is complaining about those. What LibProgs HATE is having the consequences of their actions rubbed in their faces. So obviously it's the Cafe Owners fault, he's an asshat for not just eating the cost increase and joining the ranks of the poor. Can you imagine owning a Cafe and needing and EBT card because your employees make more than you do?
LibProg Logic dictates fairness - Since the Owner gets all the Risk, it's only fair that the employees should get all the benefits, gotta share right?

So, what I'd like to see would be a break down of all the cost components. Can you imagine receipts that showed Labor Cost, Product Cost, Overhead, Government Regulatory Costs, Fixed Costs, and Profit.
Although if I owned a Cafe I'd probably refuse to do it as it's just a pain in the ass, and you'd need to add a line just to cover the cost of the receipt.
