GOOD AND HARD: Biden Tests the Adage ‘The Customer Is Always Right.’ I support him, my restaurant has served him, but his minimum-wage proposal would put me out of business.

I am a staunch supporter of Joe Biden and voted for him to save this country. Now I ask him to save my restaurant from the good intentions of progressive policy makers.

I own Pizza By Elizabeths, just outside Wilmington. The restaurant is named after the two Elizabeths—me and my former business partner, Betty—who founded it in 1993. It features an upscale-casual menu with vintage wines. Our guests dine under French chandeliers, alongside wall decor featuring other well-known Elizabeths, from the queen to Betty Boop.

We pride ourselves on serving all Delawareans, including the president. Mr. Biden, who at times has frequented our establishment two to three times a week, has been a great and gracious customer.

Yet friends can have disagreements. The president and his team may understand Delaware politics, but I’m not sure they understand the difficulties of Delaware restaurants. How else to explain his proposal to raise the minimum wage for our servers and bartenders from $2.23 an hour to $15—an increase of more than 400%—which would be a death knell for our industry?

Why, it’s almost as if the elderly Biden, who has seemingly been around Washington even before FDR went on television to calm investors after the 1929 stock market crash (classical allusion), is a stalking horse for a far left agenda. And the above restaurant owner and her employees won’t be the only people to suffer from the “Fight for $15.” As Campus Reform warned in November: Profs conclude $15 federal minimum wage, supported by Biden, would result in 2 million lost jobs.
