Interesting to hear from the other side. But even given the above the required increase in your prices of an increase of 16% on the wages of your most junior staff would be a fraction of that increase. Because of even in hospitality labour costs are usually not much more than 50% of the total cost of doing business. And sure then maybe your suppliers employ one or two 18-20 year olds but I’d guess that they represent a minority of employees of a brewery for example and again, a fraction of their total costs. But sure maybe in some sectors that pay staff less than a living wage then in order to break even they’ll put prices up by some single digit %. But you know what? A lot of the patrons of those very same pubs will suddenly have 16% more to spend on pints, so it’s all fine. Which is in the end what this is all about- the economic pain of the financial crisis in 2008 was borne disproportionately by the working man. The decline in real disposable incomes (after adjusting for housing costs) amongst lower income groups is the real threat to traditional pubs because these people constitute the clientele of traditional pubs. So lets raise their disposable income, and let them raise a glass at your gaff and dispose of that new disposable income in your urinals, and be glad that the Tory’s relentless assault on the spirit of working man is at an end 😁 -
