You're starting out on fries and make $15/hour. What do you do with the cashier that has been there 1 year and has made a couple extra dollars more than the minimum?
Labor is only a fraction of the cost of any goods. And minimum wage increases are only a fraction of the labor cost. So costs are not going to go up dramatically.
It blows my mind that people are actually trying to argue that we have to keep working people in poverty so that we can afford hamburgers.
