"One of my students has an 80-year-old grandmother who works there and has no benefits," she said.

Maybe Granny should look for a better job, then. This is the part that just kills me about the anti-Wal-Mart/raise the minimum wage crowd. If you can't make ends meet on what you're being paid, then freakin' look for a higher-paying job and stop complaining. What's that, they're not qualified for a better job? Who's fault is it that they didn't do better in school or take advantage of various free job-training programs?

At 80, the grandmother most likely has a part-time job. Most part-time jobs do not offer benefits.
