The consumer price is determined by how much people are willing to pay for something, not by the suppliers' overheads. If they could charge more and people would still pay it, they'd already be doing so. If the labour cost goes up, that just eats into their profit margins. And, the market has spoken, people aren't willing to work for what they're paying, so the labour cost has gone up.

Colloquially it's not just the labour cost per hour that's increased but the actual number of labour hours needed. The shift to table service has wrongfooted a lot of pub people who didn't realise the extra labour hours you need to make this work, in some cases you'd be looking at 30% increases as you have to hire on runners to actually take orders and get them to tables. There's been a lot of focus on qr code based ordering to try to get around that but the cost of getting that set up and spotty integration with existing pos systems scare off the tight bastards (they also have a tendency to impact tips)

I've seen a willingness to increase wages to hold experienced bar tenders but there's definitely massive reluctancy to increase wages for the lower rung of runners.

I'm sure the Tories would find a way to come up with a system even worse than 'company scrip'.

yeah the local pub i go to used to be two people behind the bar, now they’ve also hired three people for table service and just about keep on top of things

How anyone can look at commentators complaining that we’re having ‘woke’ values imposed on us while simultaneously declaring that we should force a student union to have a picture of the head of state up and not realise how hosed in the head this country is is beyond me

The funniest bit is that if he wants to dress up that badly then he could convert, but that requires time, effort, and personal study rather than putting a hat on for twitter points.

Reminds me of when Julie Burchill tried doing that and lasted about three weeks because she is deathly allergic to any kind of moral self-improvement, then began a years long harassment campaign against a rabbi, because she's a leaking septic tank of a person.

Unless you are someone that Israel is likely to afford political favour to, either because it's ethnonationalist policies favour you in the short term, or because you're some horrific war hungry ghoul working for the US/UK government, I just do not at all understand why anyone would be that into it.

In her case it seems to literally be "Jews are the people who can shout abuse at Muslims without being racist, I'm not racist and want to shout abuse at Muslims, so I should be Jewish" and when she's politely corrected on that she just adds one more person to the list that she shouts at.
