I work in food service, with tips I average more than minimum wage. If minimum wage rises I will make far less than I do now. Prices will rise and business will fall. Those who do come to the restaurant will be annoyed by the price hikes and tip less.

Lower demand for the fast food product means the consumer will either make his own lunch or stop eating altogether. The money will be spent on food one way or another.

My guess a 30% increase the price of a Big Mac will not hurt sales one bit. Also at $15/hr the employee is no longer eligible for govt. handouts so. My guess it is a wash.
