jesus christ, i should have gotten water there. $4 for one small glass and i didn't even realize it until i got the bill

Yup... if the government continues its course of artificially raising wages, you'll eventually end up seeing $39.95 for a glass of water and then orange juice would only be on the menu at the most exclusive, high end restaurants.  Of course, they could go in another direction and shrink the portions... three bites and two sips... all gone.

I'd wager that it wasn't even the good stuff... just frozen concentrate.  The health club here at the casino used to give away free glasses of non concentrated orange juice, but that was more than ten years ago.  Now, you only get complimentary bottled water when you pay for the premium services.  OJ is no longer on the menu.

 

You have to pay the growers, pickers and packers.  You have to pay the truckers.  You have to pay the people who run the machines to squash it into juice, then pay more packers and truckers, then you have to pay the waiter, the busboy, the dishwasher and even the guy who cleans the restroom before you can have OJ served to you at a restaurant.  Keep raising those wages by government mandate, folks.

being okay with inflation but not okay with raising wages is the thinking of an ignorant person who will always be poor

What a rip, then again I got charged two buck for ice at a local steak house when I ordered some Bombay sapphire on the rocks.

Places will charge what they think they can get away with.
