"Ironically, you’d be fast food workers with starting salaries higher than many professional chefs, which is a bit like paying a tattoo artist less than the person who paints cat whiskers on your face at the carnival."

I dunno man, I think we should give it to them. One store gives those employees their raise, and have a documentary crew follow progress and fill the place with hidden cameras. That way when the store completely fails and they all end up out of work on the street we will have more undeniable evidence that a minimum wage does not help the poor. Not to mention an entertaining new show to watch for the few months they stay open.

That's reality tv I could watch.

Agreed. I fried chicken and worked in a kitchen as a first job. It sucked but I could have a job because minimum wage was low enough for them to take a risk and train a kid with no experience. I'm very grateful for that job, and the boss who was mean enough to motivate me help me develop work place skills. It helped me to aspire and appreciate the better jobs I got later.

I don't understand the mindset people believing that they can increase the price of something, and not have it affect anything except how much money they bring home. People have lost the ability to think.

If fast food workers demand a $15/hr wage, then I demand my burger must look exactly like the ones in the ads.

Excellent point! They're not really performing the service advertised, are they?
