If you want higher pay, have something to offer an employer that the average minimum wage earner does not have. Or you could just sit on your ass and whine.
This is why we call you "shitflinger."
Naturally you don't grasp basic business or economic questions, you're a looter, not a producer.
McDonald's will not make a capital investment until such time as the payback is attractive. When you Communists push for doubling wages - then you vastly alter the ROCE on capital equipment to replace unskilled labor. Essentially, you are putting the workers you claim to help out of work.
Naturally, your intent (rather the intent of your masters) is not to help anyone. The massive increase in wages for the least skilled and valuable is designed to break the back of the middle, the ever-persistent goal of leftism.
You don't understand economics, nor do you care, so this is not intended for you.
Arbitrary markers of fiat currency do not alter the value proposition. Menial labor does not gain value simply because a government dictates that more fiat currency is given in exchange for that labor. Instead the value of the fiat currency is reduced to the level of the value it is exchanged for. The purchasing power of the dollar declines until equilibrium is established.
Who gets fucked by all of this is exactly who the left are targeting, the lower middle class. This is nothing more or less than democrats putting a boot to the face of workers struggling to rise out of poverty and into the middle. A person works hard and proves his value, obtaining a series of raises, from $7.25 to $9, then up to $13. Then along come you communists and kick him in the face repeatedly until he is right back to minimum wage where he started
Of course this is the whole idea, what Lenin called "leveling," paying the street sweeper the same as a doctor or craftsman. The left seeks to crush the middle, the bourgeoisie, you always have. 3 years after an arbitrary mandate to pay $15 instead of $8, the purchasing power of $15 will be the same as $8 today. So what was accomplished? Simply the act of kicking those climbing out of poverty right back down to the bottom.

You are obviously some type of Luddite who thinks you could stop the flow of progress by rolling back a few bucks on wages. Your silly threats to workers......You better accept lower wages or we will get robots to replace you is ridiculous
