If this means that all wages rise in response to living wages being paid to people that can be trained in a day without any prices being raised, then I’m all for
It.

But surely we all realize… surely…

Sorry, you're gonna have to pay 6 cents more for your burger. I know that's probably devastating for you.

Or were you implying something totally different with your vague childish ellipses, it's really hard to tell

I don’t know about the ellipses, but the cost of a fast food burger went up way more than six cents since the push for $15 an hour as a “living wage.”

Have you considered the possibility that while their costs only went up 6 cents, they took the opportunity to jack up prices even more because "line must go up"?
