McDonalds, now allows customers to get their own drinks for example.. Why, because it was cheaper to give people free refills on soda than pay someone to fill your cup. They now automate fry cooking, and even cup filling in the drivethru.. Make the cost high enough and theyw ill find a way to automate burger cooking..
Do those robots hand the customer their drink and give them their change?
And why would people lose jobs if the minimum wage was raised? Somebody has to do those menial, minimum wage jobs anyways.
I posted a pretty picture explaining this. I even broke it down for you as you were unable to understand it on your own. And you still ask this question?
It is clear that you have NO idea what you are talking about. Why do you keep digging your hole deeper?

As I said, every industry is automating.
No but that person who hands out the customers drink can also be the person who rings up the order and takes the cash, thus you just removed the need to have a 2nd drive thru window and just fired a 2nd employee...

btw, there used to be a day when you'd walk into McDonalds and find 3 cashiers standing there waiting to take your order.. Now its usually 1, and that 1 is usually running food to the drive thru cashier, and then mopping the floor and cooking fries....
And while that 1 is earning more per hour, they are now struggling to survive because you just increased the cost of living and they cant afford basic necessities.
If raising the minimum wage is the magic bullet that brings everyone out of poverty and does no cost jobs why not make it 100 an hour that would make us all rich. why stop at 10 per hour

More importantly, if raising the minimum wage was the magic bullet to bring everyone out of poverty, why did welfare rolls increase as the minimum wage increased?
And dont blame the recession because according to posters here, paying more means there is a sudden influx of new consumers to buy products, so the recession would never have taken place if their theories were correct.

oh and one more thing.. yeah, they actualy can give them change.. I have no doubt there will come a day when you can only use debit/credit cards at McDonalds, because it'll reduce theft, and the cost of a cashier..
You just fired another employee...
See how your policies just dont fit in with the reality? You just fired 2 people at every McDonalds in america.. Want to continue increasing wages, and we'll see how many more we can eliminate?
You don't understand the contradiction here, do you?
No contradiction if you actually read the rest of the sentence instead of stopping at the highlighted part.
