At a Minimum or Is it worth an hour?

My opinion scale & how it relates to economics. In NY min. wage increases to $15. This is a look at what $9 or current min. will buy. Decide if it is worth it to you. See if purchasing power increases. Hoodie Foodie opinion scale. Everyone or maybe just Google wants my opinion, so I thought I should come up with a standard. 3 stars does what it says at a reasonable price. 4 better price, product or service. 5 something special. 2 below min/ price misalignment 1 problem

Part of Salt City Market. A fun spot for a sweet treat. A bit pricey.

Phillips Diner, Ogdensburg NY

- January 14, 2023

We found this restaurant by chance and it's the exact type of restaurant I really wanted to love . The classic American Diner is one of my favorites. We arrived after the normal dinner hour, but well before closing. The restaurant was almost empty. What I really liked, the prices were reasonable and many choices looked enticing. We wanted basic comfort food and asked a few questions. I don't know if it was the questions that set them off or just that we were new, but we could hear snide comments about the order, almost like were a burden to ask for dressing on the side. Maybe they were just having a bad day. It's not like I would never go back I just wouldn't rush back and probably would be hesitant to recommend it.

Scotty's Brick Oven Pizza

Formerly a foot truck, they opened a store on Public Square . Ordering and menu are online even when you visit in person. We ordered a large mushroom pizza. When the order rang up the price of the topping doubled. When I questioned it, they explained that they have a lot of people who want different toppings on each side i.e 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni, so they price the toppings by 1/2. Nice idea, but it could really increase the price of a pie if you are someone who orders multiple toppings. They still operate the food truck for special events.
