Raising the minimum wage to $15/hour, does not make sense. The businesses will be forced to hire less people or fire people and throughout the country this will increase unemployment. Minimum wage jobs are meant as a stepping stone. You gain some skills and move on. It is not a lifetime career. So, good for these companies for buying robots. They will not have to deal with inefficient employees and the customer will probably get better service and properly cooked food. And as for the people who got fired or were never hired, because of the increased minimum wage? They will have to learn a useful skill or wind up like these people!
