Need some TLDR to keep up in here.

The increase in cost to up an employee to a higher minimum wage is spread out amongst sales. For the example of the waiter, it's not one customer that is going to have to shoulder the burden of that increase. It's about 15 (less or more) customers over an hour. So the meal is not going to be $4.20 more. It's going to be $4.20 divided by customers. So more like 28 cents more per meal.
