I was not referring to front line managers or higher nor dedicated truck drivers. There are people that will raise these costs due to an increase in minimum wage to $9 maybe not in the fields you have experienced. There is no way around saying that this won't raise costs.

The supply chain is anybody that provides value added...
Example:
Janitorial = making sure warehouse is safe, clean, and less products will be messed up as a result
Pickers = People who get orders together, unskilled labor.
Question. What do you think happens to the economy when people who aren't making minimum wage (the vast majority of the working population) get performance-based/cost of living raises?
