Notorious b.s.d. posted:restaurants are achieving outstanding productivity gains. the number of covers is essentially fixed per seat, so the gains come in the form of labor reductions instead of output increases. I guess I should have specified real restaurants not the gussied up fast food joints that pretend to be restaurants but at least can sell alcohol of course even the real ones would still have escaped some of the cost increases since real wages for unskilled labor have fallen even faster than everyone else's since the 70s which would also make the ingredients cheaper so yeah maybe it's not a great example but it's something more people will have some experience with than classical violin
