Reason I care, and not want it to goto $15.
Currently where I live, I can go get a Gallon of Milk for $2.89 to $3.50 (Depending on major grocery chain store, not walmart/target)
If minimum wage goes to $15, that milk will cost me $4.50 to $5, and I don't get a raise. You might argue that people now making $15 will spend more money online, but who knows if that is true or not, if everything I buy now has a increase in price, I really gain nothing.
In the old days, when people worked for big companies, they'd give raises once a year, and by golly the stores in town would charge more for stuff.
