20. It costs over $10 for a 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad and water at Panera Bread

a small coffee at Starbucks is $1.95. I had 2 beers and a wrap at Applebee's Monday that ran $23.22 not including the tip. What will it be when there is a $15 minimum wage? Us retired people get no COLA on our pensions or IRA and the SS cola doesn't cover the actual increases.

I'll bet all the workers affected by this are going to give her an earful at her $2,700 a plate GoneFishin Jul 2015 #1

It's a national fifteen dollar minimum wage and Unknown Beatle Jul 2015 #18
If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity, it would be over $20 by now Cheese Sandwich Jul 2015 #19
