Although a lot of them go overboard they aren't entirely wrong about prices. Take a look at what things like apartment rent has done Every time minimum wage increases. Unless you cap businesses who's costs Aren't majorly impacted by minimum wage. All raising it does is make them decide "Oh I can have more money from people." Funny thing is it's usually the right wing nuts who raise those prices then wonder why the complaints continue.

I am a knee-jerk nut job who thinks minimum wage solves nothing, but taking away the special category service staff find themselves in seems the only way to fairly solve this.

Mandating a minimum wage only makes the numbers higher, it doesn't actually do what we'd want it to ( benefit the workers). Minimum wage is the level of water, and the cost of food, clothes, housing, etc are buoys on that water. The higher the water, the higher the buoys. Where minimum wage becomes particularly harmful is when businesses start importing (many times illegally) immigrants who can be exploited to take the place of American workers because they don't want to pay the cost of an American workers.

It doesn’t, no, but Americans have complained about this for decades, yet when Hillary Clinton promised to get rid of the $2/hour tipped minimum wage, I saw hardly any Americans talking about it, even in primarily Democrat areas of the internet. It gets so frustrating as a non-American to keep reading sick s**t like this and then watch Americans take no interest in changing it. Leaving it to consumers to self govern is causing stuff like this to happen, so what is the US going to do to fix that?

Did any of these service people share the other side of the story? I bet not everyone of these was a case of the customer being the arsehole.
