I would tell him to go back where he came from but I would be called a racist. The only folks that suffer from this kind of legislation is the folks that purchase the goods. The cost is always passed to the purchaser. Here is a link to the Orlando Weekly. He doesn't even pay his own people 15 an hour. https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2019/03/26/orlando-attorney-john-morgans-firm-still-relies-on-cheap-labor-despite-pushing-for-15-minimum-wage-in-florida John Morgan will do anything to get his name out there.

I’m just curious do you think the employer is going to give you a raise? I kinda doubt it....

I grew up with parents who were paramedics. We struggled for most of my childhood because they barely made anything. They went to college, learned how to save lives and worked their butts off. In my opinion, if you cannot get my order right and it's on a screen right in front of you and on the receipt j your hand, then you dont deserve $15/hour. I dont remember the last time I had an order correct. It’s sad when our paramedics cannot even get paid $15/he but people who work at McDonalds type restaurants want to be paid this!

Acknowledging there’s millions in government employment and services who can’t and don’t meet that criteria but who earn relatively high salaries and benefits. So where should the line be drawn? only some aren’t required to produce as much as they receive in pay and benefits? Seems we are eating our meals out these days ( tv commercials) cause we’re too busy running hither & yon chasing our tails. The restaurants and fast food industry are now life givers but their employees don’t deserve a living wage ? Should hospital employees be treated the same ? My 1st job (weekends) was 40 cents per hour bagging groceries! Learned a lot and moved to a better paying weekend job ! Now, 60 years later still work most every day but pay is zero which is LESS than where I started. I do get unbelievable home cooked meals and desserts as compensation and I sleep well knowing I earned my keep ! If an employee can’t produce or compensate

Little surprise this work of art is pulling for this left-wing agenda.

They are not meant to pay the household bills. These jobs are entry level jobs providing job experience and the beginning of a work history. They are meant for teens and college kids to have a little pocket money. Now I don't mean to pick on McDonald's but it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to drop the fries in the fryer. This is a bad idea. You don't have to take my word for it. Look at Seattle as an example. Multiple layoffs. Businesses moving outside of the city. Minimum wage jobs are not meant to be career jobs.

The only entity that gains from and increase in the minimumwage is the government (increased tax revenues). Companies will pass the increase to the customer bring higher prices and layoffs.
