The repeated rationale that a business should be thinking of anything beyond staying in business is absolutely comical. Their first priority is profit and staying afloat. The market and a person's skill level decides what employees are paid. I am not going to pay someone $15.00/hour to flip a burger, answer a phone, or anything I can find someone unskilled off CL to come in and do with a day's worth of training.

Listen I never said $15 a hour.. It's never been about $15 a hour. If you followed it at you you would know that the $15 a hour was thrown out there for a bargaining chip to hopefully get them a $2 or $3 raise from $7.
Everyone keeps saying these jobs were made for teens just starting out but it's already been stated many times that in reality 50% of the workers are in their 20's and 30's..
