All this does is ruin the little guy.
The big retailers and box stores will suffer, but they will cope and most will survive.
The neighborhood stores (what few are left), the small town stores (ditto), the independent guys and gals-—to HELL with them.
As usual all the Leftist power and money in these cases seems to tend toward crushing the individual.
Screw the labor class. Time to automate most of these useless “jobs” (i.e. service/retail level). Then that will eliminate the need for these “minimum wage” jobs, so no more “raise minimum wage” crap.

Always.
