And so if there’s an employee who has the ability to make two or three or four or five bucks an hour more at another location, they go directly to the owner or to their manager.”Darden explains that while small businesses will be increasing hourly wages employers might hire fewer people and cut hours to offset the increase.&nbsp;MOOYAH Burgers, Fries &amp; Shakes was founded in 2007 in Plano, Texas and now has locations across the globe.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/05/business/economy/amazon-wage-effect.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=new-york-times-when-amazon-raises-its-minimum-wage-local-companies-follow-suit-2715294" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You can view the full article here.</a>
