Fast Food Workers deserve to make minimum wage or slightly above because it's one of the most basic jobs. I worked at wendy's a few years ago and I got paid 2.00 over minimum wage at the time (when I was crew). I work as an Engineer now, and Fast Food is not easy work like many would have you believe. But it's basic work and you should get paid accordingly.
If you raise fast food workers jobs. Inevitably managers that are getting paid 15 dollars are going to want to get paid more because they're in higher skilled positions. It's either going to cause inflation, or you're going to go out of business because your competitors can pay less in labor and drop prices etc.
You can't live on a minimum wage by yourself but you're not supposed to. Either work 2 jobs, or share an apartment. You're supposed to advance which is easy enough, I got promoted to manager when I was 18 because I worked hard and then got paid more, You shouldn't be set at an entry level job.
