Although I have fairly limited sympathy for people whose businesses thrived on paying people bare minimum wage, I think that's a pretty limited reading of the article. Wages in the hospitality sector will go up; prices in hospitality will go up; businesses will go under (not hers by the look of it); sectors like care will lose staff to the hospitality industry as a result. That's a slightly broader picture than "posh bird moaning that..."
It's going to be really interesting to see how the wages/prices thing settles down. Are there going to be increases in wages in some sectors because of staff shortages, which will leave some people better able to deal with inflation or is everyone going backwards?
