[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1683113, member: 32659"] If I raised all my employees to $15 I would have to raise prices across the board. This is something we’ve talked about allot and we'd be taking a big chance of going broke. People will probably go somewhere cheaper. We aren’t a huge company that has lots of stores to cover cost. We’ve got 1 location in a small town. There’s a huge misconception out there that all business owners are rich and make a killing. My regular job pays twice what the business does and all I to worry about is showing up dressed for work. Walmart did raise their minimum wage and passed the cost to me in the form of a terrible shopping experience. Last time I was in there I bought a large item. It took me 3 trips to to main desk, 2 trips to find the person they sent to help, one trip to the stocking area in the back ( wasn’t welcome back there), all this before getting a shopper to help me load item. When I got up front to pay nobody would help so checked myself out. When I left they ask for a receipt to make sure I didn’t steal it. I was as nice as I could be to this guy and ask for help loading the item and he told me no. Sorry, I won’t be back and I’m not basing that decision on one bad day as Home Depot is about to be a no go also. McDonalds was an example of how the people can raise minimum wage without having the government raise minimum wage, kind of like the $600 and $300 checks are doing now. [/QUOTE]
