Been saying these things and more for years. Messing with the law of economics never ends well. The minimum wage was fine the way it was. Minimum wage is for entry level people and those who earn good tips (like $200-$300 a shift). Raising it also has the effect of lowering the income of fixed income people like retired or disabled because the price of everything goes up.
Bad juju all around.
When I was in college minimum wage was $2.13 an hour, I was a cocktail waitress OMG I made so much money it was actually absurd, after graduating I made far LESS money in my career than I did as a cocktail waitress!!! I worked 4 nights a week in a fine dining restaurant and ALWAYS made at least $1500.00 a week in tips, I have NEVER understood these wacka doodle waitresses SCREAMING about raising minimum wage I never picked up my paycheck until the manager used to hand me a stack of them telling me they were going to expire if I didn’t deposit them!!!
