Excellent, you used good old conservative logic and didn't leech off taxpayers to subsidize your low wages. Good job!
However how mnay of the low-wage, lib earners use that mentality?

Well, I work for a moderately large and quickly growing upscale grocery retail chain and I can tell you a $13 effective min wage with benefits would make us close our doors down and we are far more profitable % wise than Target or Walmart. Most of our stores are only 25k sq ft though so we wouldnt' be effected by this. We do have 2 stores in the Chicago area.

How many do leech? A lot. Does that justify raising prices for literally everyone in town lowering everyone's real wages to force this onto Target & Walmart? Nope.

If people refuse to work hard and live cheaply, instead consuming government money, the fault is with the government that allows it, not with the company that pays them what they're worth.
