They would raise prices? Which would disproportionately affect me, who makes a good bit more than minimum wage, since I still buy from those vendors but my wage is not increasing.
While lower income workers would have the prices raise on them, but less than by the amount that their page is rising (because the cost is also spread on people who won't have their wages increased).
Which is fine by me. It can present a problem to positions like, say, academic adjunct, since those are budgetary and can't simply increase prices. But for the most part I don't see anything apocalyptic about a minimum wage increase.
