British Gas prices have gone up, transport prices have gone up, sky tv prices have gone up, phone bill has gone up, i bet you could find at least 5 other things were costs have gone up since the rise in minimum wage was announced.
Its one of my biggest gripes in modern society, paint it as a wage increase but even before it hits action you are receiving letter left right and centre about price increases.
Before you know it your worse off before the wage increase as the amount of price increases cancel out what you would of received in a wage rise.
You get taxed more, the companys VAT is more so who wins? The government, that is why they raise the minimum wage, to make more money of us, not to "make our lives easier"
THe best answer would be if they were going to raise it, raise it by about £3 an hour instead of 20p or whatever it is stupid, so people have substantial amount in there pocket as "excess"
Restaurants get more customers, you buy more data on your phone, you arent as stingy with the heating, you buy box sets on sky, the customers are spending more so the business arent losing out.
Anyway, were was i........oh yeah, they probably charge more because of the cost of travel/hotels/ apartments/ electricity have all gone up
