Just my 2 cents. Any 'big' business projecting entry level task based jobs to have higher pay...would probably not be keeping everyone around on payroll. Talking about automated process or robots. That 1 human cashier/front desk can then be easily paid lot more. Ironically it'll turn the low 'skill' job into a higher tier of skill. Personally I don't mind paying bit more for stuff I buy if that will keep someone from being hungry somewhere. But I'm a single dude and am neither a business owner nor an economist so wouldn't even begin to guess implications of minimum wage hike..or have a strong opinion about it.
