@rbreich Denver’s is now tied to inflation and is currently 18.29. And today there’s an article, yes the day before Labor Day, lamenting the affect on restaurants. I’m sorry, but if your business can only survive by paying salaries so low your staff can’t afford a home, healthcare, etc. then your business should fail.
