All those people who got raises are now unemployed.
I'm sorry, but there is a bottom tier for a reason - It encourages people to move out of that job. If you are are so unmotivated that after ten years you cannot move upwards from minimum wage, well, you don't deserve a $2 raise.

I'm not saying they deserve it. I am simply saying the McDonald's could, technically, afford to give them a raise, but if they were going to do so without raising prices the raise would not be very big. People think that McDonald's can afford to give everyone $5-6 dollars per hour in raises and have it no cause the price of food to raise and that simply is not the case.
