I mean really.. If you can't pay someone $9 dollars an hour to do a job as a business, then your business has a lot more problems than worrying about min wage.

Cinema's used to hire ushers to take you to your seat with a flashlight. It's unskilled and low pay work for teenager, struggling college student or part time mom but it paid something and now they don't hire ushers at all.
Gas stations used to hire someone to pump gas for your car but they don't any more because of the min. wage and it's too expensive. (although in NJ it's still the law that someone pumps your gas!)
These are just two examples where jobs are disappearing thanks to making the cost of them too expensive via the min wage so companies don't bother and service to the customer gets worse .
