I don't think you should be getting $15.00 an/hr for saying do you want fries with that.. People complain you can't raise a family working at McDonalds/Fast food well.... Your not suppose to be able to. They are extremely low skill wage jobs that are mainly used to keep teens employed.

I think it's a really bad idea that will end up killing businesses and jobs.

You just argued that those were stupid no skill jobs only there to keep teens employed and now you complain they will diseappear ?

Make up your mind...

It will cut deep into profits of companies and will cut jobs in the process.  It may eliminate small start up companies that can't afford to pay every employee AT MINIMUM $15.  Now that minimum wage is 15 that will bump up manager wages so on and so forth.  There is a bigger impact than just paying low Skill wage teenagers $15.  Do you think it takes a lot of skill to push buttons on a cash register?  No way in hell a job like that should start at $15 an hr. Much like making a cup of pre-made coffee?  You seriously think those jobs should start out at $15?  For the amount of skill that needs to be put into it?  You don't see the bigger picture..
