What I never understood is why a business that can't even make enough money to pay it's employees that much is really worth existing. At my reastaurant I already pay dishwashers above $7.25 in a part of the country that has a very low cost of living. I couldn't imagine what kind of business simply can't cover that. I have been through the debate about minimum wage so much on this site that I don't really feel like going through the motions again. I just wonder what business has trouble meeting anything above $5.15. Even if you think the $2.10 increase is too much I still think that $5.15 is amazingly low for any business venture to not be able to go beyond.
