No, prices went up AFTER minimum wage - increased

Posted: Jan 2nd, 2018 - 2:37 pm In Reply to: Everything went up before the minimum wage went up - That is the thing

And I completely understand local small businesses who want to stay in business raising prices so they can pay their workers min. wage. It makes no sense to me to raise minimum wage and raise the price on everything else. What's the point?!
