That's like saying "two wrongs make a right".
Fact is...$15 an hour is stupid for a coffee pouring job, hamburger flipping, checkout person, etc.
When you are paying that out for bottom of the rung jobs, the logical thing that happens next is that ALL the jobs "above" those in skill level will go up in salary as well.
"Yes Robbie, but isn't that a GOOD thing! Everybody has "more" money!"
Yeah, more WORTHLESS money, because then the cost of living rises and the "more" money is negated.
Which brings me to our industry. We CAN'T raise our prices because piracy is giving it to them for free.
So the adult industry continue to make the same money...while the cost of living rises. Pure genius.
The simple facts are: pouring coffee is not WORTH $15 an hour. End of discussion.
Anything else you are saying is moot after that fact.
Once we run off into crazy-land and start paying people what we "feel" they should have no matter what their skill level...it's game over.
