So, in Port Townsend minimum wage went up to 11$, they say. I went in to Elevated Ice Cream downtown, today, to get ice cream and the prices have went way way up.
I said, $8.87 for 2 scoops of ice cream, really? wow. She said well in the last election that minimum wage went up from 8 to 11 and so their prices went up across the board. So if you go somewhere often then prices up, well then you don't go and then do they stay in business, not sure. Same thing last week was 2-3$ cheaper, thats a HUGE percentage raise in price. Guess they want to punish the voters but how will they stay in business with such a hike in ice cream. You can get a whole pint for 3$ at the store, Which is twice as much or more then 2 scoops. I can get a pint of Organic for less then $6. How can people afford this?
I am not even sure that minimum wage is inacted yet until January. Hmmm..
