Raising the minimum wage is a perfect storm for them because the last time it was done was 13 years ago. But the domino effects of a sudden jump from 7.25-15.00 will be brutal.

The last time it was raised I had been making $7.00/hr cleaning toilets and pulling trash in a factory 70 hours a week. Right around the time it went into effect I received a real raise too to $8/hr ... Uncle Sam raised it 25 cents and my employer 75 cents.
