Um, just want to step in here just to address the comment about automation...
I honestly think as tech increases, regardless of minimum wage, there'll be a lot of automation. Maybe not as much to begin with, but now that we have better ways to handle stuff like orders without having to deal with people(which happened here even without much change to minimum wage), it will happen.
It's not because of them having to pay more, it's whether they can cut out paying as much as they can. I don't like to be all about 'evil businesses', because I like to believe there's a lot that -aren't- evil, despite what people like to claim. But businesses are about making money, and if they can find ways to make more money and keep more money, they'll take it.
The problem here is that automation isn't bad, but it's when there's no alternative things, that things start to get... bad. Like, making the purchasing process for things easier is a good thing, since then you have people having more time to themselves and their family, and less stress. It's especially good for cashiers, to whom people really like to be rude to sometimes. It's bad when there's not as many chances for income other than that, though, but that circles back to people being rather... set in their ways about different things.
