Look at it this way - this is a very Darwinian way to weed out the incompetents, who could NEVER be productive enough to justify a $15/hour wage.
At least, not until $15 is sufficiently eroded by inflation to be worth approximately $1.50. And that may be quicker than anybody now thinks.

That benchmark is already behind us.

I just ran $15.00 (2014) through the "Inflation Calculator" to see what it was equivalent to in 1964 when I was a senior in high school, working as a cashier at Kroger's. $1.95
IIRC, I was making $1.25/hr in Macon, GA, not exactly a high wage area.
