Getting a better job isn't a valid argument, if it were as simple as that then nobody would be working those jobs. I find that arrogant folk are the ones opposed to the minimum wage increase, I can post numerous studies and facts that debunk the theory of unemployment rising and small business suffering but it seems to always fall on deaf ears.

"Get a better job" is just as valid as "run your business better" is. And that was the point.
However, one simple fact is that not every task is worth a high wage. And doing such low value tasks for an arbitrary amount of time does not increase their values. The McOrder booths are a good example. Nobody deserves or should expect a so-called living wage for doing such a menial task that literally 99% of the people on this planet could do. And that is why those roles are being replaced with job-killing machines. The cost of such jobs exceeds their value.
