Walmart and McDonald's are big supporters of the $15 minimum as are many municipalities and government entities. The $15 minimum wage may never come into being, but with today's economy, one never knows. BTW, Florida minimum cash wage for tipped employees is currently just under $5 at $4.91 according to the DOL.
