Read his statement and my question again. He said he would pass the cost on. My question was if his competition would do the same. If they are currently priced the same and they don't increase their prices then xUT will loose business. If they all increase then everyone has to pay higher prices.southwind said:

Try to keep in mind not all companies have minimum wage employees.
If his competition's employees are already at a higher rate, they won't need to raise prices.
Costco doesn't pay minimum wage. They won't have to increase prices per se, but I suspect a few of their suppliers will be pinched, which means their costs get passed on to Costco's customers.

Ready...Aim...raising minimum wage is yet another way to get rid of the middle class. Most employers don't adhere to it and do offer above minimum wages. Raising MW will force those that pay above MW to cut costs, which eventually will bring those in higher wages competing with minimum wage. Don't get it? We are becoming a third world nation!

As usual, you don't know W T F your talking about.
Case in point.
City of SEA is very soon going TO make it a law to pay a $ 15. Minimum wage.
Fast food workers getting ready for a nation wide STRIKE for $ 15. (Not saying they're gonna get $15, but the wage IS Going to go U P.)
Guys like 'Mittens' Romney on board with a High M-W.
The M-W thing is like a snowball that's already underway, that the GOP WILL get Crushed by if they don't smarten up, and Very SOON.
The US hourly worker is FED UP Big Time with the two tier Capitalistic system, and want the Middle Class restored pronto.
YOU say we're headed to a 'third world' direction like Bangladesh or Mexico.
I say we're headed more towards a Norway/Sweden/Belgium/Switzerland/Finland/Germany/Denmark/Netherlands/Canada. Last time i checked, ...my noted countries were on the top of the "10 happiest countries" list.
And don't any of you staunch Capitalists have a HEART Attack, but I agree with eolesen when he says....... that once the 'SNOW BALL" becomes unstopable, things like More automation will become inevitable, to which I say,...FINE, bring it on !
Can a ..fast food Union be far behind for starters for the Big-Boys (Mickey D's, and the 'King' ) ?
Methinks NOT !!
ALL these Fat-Cat BAS-TARDS sitting in thier board rooms high fiving each other as Profits soar to new heights, and hourly wages reamain STAGNANT year after year,............seem to have forgotten a..Proven (many times) theory. NO, it's not..."What goes around comes around"
It's........"For every action, there's an EQUAL and OPPOSITE... R E A C T I O N "
I LOVE 'this stuff' !!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!
I guess you'll stand in line for your next tasty weiner for an hour and a half when the hot dog stand cuts his workers to deal with the new national marxist wage format.
Now what happens to those already between 10-15 ?
How about we bring all the others like you down to this fifteen buck wage and everybody will be happy.
You can't see this is all an attempt at eliminating the middle class?
Read up on Marxism and a national wage.
LOL and closest to collapsing...

The good news is that with Bears' new job, he's authorized to sit on his ass at work.
At some point, Amtrak will replace his ass with an ATM-like ticket vending machine, which just about every other commuter railroad seems to have done, as have the railroads in the UK, Germany, Japan, China, France, etc....
Drove past several fast food places on the drive into work today. Didn't see any picket lines, and nobody was missing from my McDonalds stop (gotta have their burritos in the morning...).
