8 hours day = 480 minutes. At $7.50 for a Latte, it would require pumping out a Latte every 55 secs without a break to reach $3500 a day. Does anyone believe this is actually the case? If so, it must be the most profitable chain on the planet for one location to have such a throughput of clientele. And an employee is not generating profit, the employer does that by starting a business and providing access to a customer base and jobs for people. You can always start your own coffee shop and keep the profits for yourself?

@nickthompson1812 Likewise a shop needs real estate, electricity and product all provided by the owner. No one is forcing them to work there or preventing them from doing the same. Then they would find that payroll is one of the highest expenditures they have and that just an increase in min wage will mean an increase in price for the customer or the need to lay someone off.
