Inode,
These people who are going to now be paid a "living wage" of $15/hour are going to go out and eat at those restaurants thereby preserving the jobs.
I don't know about you, but if I had to support a family on $15/hour, I would NOT be going out to restaurants.

Instead, and this is assuming I still had a job after the minimum wage hike, I would do everything possible to get out of my financial situation, including retiring debt and studying for a better career.

Of course, a libtard will say, "See? That's why we need to hike up the minimum wage," but they have no idea what unintended consequences they bring if they assume that the hike will have no effect on businesses.

Hence they'll just continue making s--t up like, "With a living wage, people will dine out more." Yeah, right.
