Dishwasher,stock boy,cashier,waitress,busboy all require some type of training. Imagine a lunchtime crowd at a restaurant with a young slow paced inexperienced dishwasher.
But it is all quite marginal isn't it, to say raising the minimum wage would somehow create a recovery in a failing economy is quite ludicrous really. When an entire countries economy is on the cusp of disaster creating products is what creates wealth and recovery not fiddling with minimal or inconsequential economical adjustments that matter. Neither does your opinion or mine for that matter. Like I said I'm not against higher wages for lower wage earners but it is hardly a cure for a failing economy.
