Are you a small business owner?  I am (not Shave Ice -- that really is my parents).  Don't speak for me.

And you can't just raise prices on the presumption that people will pay more if they are earning more.  At some point there is price inelasticity in most good and services -- its not always inability to pay that limits sales, its the simple proposition that consumers don't see value in paying $12 for Shave Ice.   But the business owner doesn't realize that until its too late -- after the wage hikes have kicked in, higher prices are posted, and volume goes down 25%.
