I'm guessing they only ever employ the minimum number of people they need to run things. And changing the minimum wage doesn't change how many people you need.

Its not like they're going to say "well with this wage increase we'll need to get rid of all the excess staff we kept around for no reason"

Which is what they're already doing.
