Let say a short order cook can make an order of hamburger, fries and a drink in 10 minutes. 1/6 of an hour. It sells for $10.00.

Let's say he makes $12.00/hr. That ten minutes of labor costs $2.00. Ok, we give him a raise to $15.00. Now that 10 minutes of labor is $2.50.

So the now the meal costs $10.50, .50 increase. Wow, what a crises.
