#1 customers are footing the bill for the health care of their waitstaff

The customer always foots the bill, whether as a surcharge, a tax, or just increased prices. The alternative is to not buy the product (meal), in which case the employees lose their jobs - and end up supported by the taxpayer - who tends to be the same person as the customer was. He who has assets pays, one way or the other. Eventually in a downward-spiraling, self-consuming economy, no one has any more assets - then what?

Ugliness. Generally the people revolt and *cough* remove the Elites by any manner of unpleasant means. We really need to alter the sequence and save ourselves the journey. It has its benefits, but admittedly some of the lesson is lost.
