Bar "churning".

This summer I first heard of the phenomenon of "churning", which is rapid turnover rates in low-wage jobs, since people have no reason to stay, and which a rise in the minimum wage tends to end, to the benefit of both workers and employers.

I'm also becoming aware that there's bar churning.

For example, this large cafe/nightclub run by some Iraqis that I had been to is now a club run by Mexicans, as I discovered when I biked by it on its opening night, with free mariachi band.

It's interesting how many bars (as physical spaces) I've been to twice under different names (never yet been to one three times yet).
