If it means they have to raise the prices, turn off the heat, put sawdust in the burgers, recycle the cooking oil or do god knows what, that's what they have to do. Or they can close. And boo hoo then.

Yeah, but that affects the customers, as well. That's what the major complaint is. Prior to 2008 in Calgary, it was brutal. The restaurants all did what you suggested back then and it was completely unacceptable for a city our size, the way the service industry collectively cut down to small town hours. It was bush league for a world class city, and that's what this program is here for.
It was "boohoo then" for the businesses, but also the customers.
