It would probably happen eventually even without a change in minimum wage..
But, big increases so quickly obviously speed it up..
And as an ex waitress, it will have an adverse affect on the tipping culture...servers end up with less money.

The Conference Board of Canada believes countermeasures implemented by businesses could result in the loss of 42,000 jobs by the end of next year
The Conference Board of Canada, a nonpartisan economic research institute, had initially estimated that the change would shift about $5 billion into the pockets of workers and away from business profits.
Now it believes countermeasures implemented by businesses could result in the loss of 42,000 jobs by the end of next year, said Michael Burt, director of the industrial trends group at the Conference Board.
It is off to a great start.

Yes, but unskilled service jobs in the hospitality industry were on their way out anyway.

Target Canada is a good example of failed implementation, even though I personally preferred it over Wal Mart, which I typically avoid like the plague.

They are worried it will change the tipping culture which means less take home pay.

We are still programmed to tip, and even if the price of meal is raised by $1 (to cover minimum wage increase), we may even tip more, since most tip on percentage of total bill.
I cannot speak for everyone, but I can speak about how I personally pay for my meals...

The workers at the bottom are just as deserving of a minor increase, that the rest of us want, and push hard for.
If your fucking business model will go broke by paying $11/hour instead of $10/hour? Then you shouldn't be in business in the first place...

At that time, there was a claim that high minimum wage, and high unemployment, was fucking everything up.
I was 16. I got that job without even a resume. On the spot. And my employers were fair, and actually fun to work for. I did not mind that job at all.
And this was in some sort of 'crisis' we were having? Bullshit. All bullshit.
And so what if the min wage went up? People still wanted their substandard pizza's delivered! That will not change!
So, save me the bullshit, about how increasing a wage will cause catastrophe... It simply doesn't.
I know! Not because I was brainwashed in Econ 101, but because I live and worked in this environment!
I'm a business owner, Fash. I also require a rate increase, from time to time, since my costs are NOT going down.Quote from: "Angry White Male"

But this time Trudeau pass the legislation to increase min wage from 11 an hour to $15 an hour by 2019. Instead of just trying to raise wages and making things more expensive, people should try to look and fix the problem why there's an inflation in the first place.
