Nothing says 'Chris Luxon, man of the people' like a multi-millionaire on a $150,000 a year taxpayer salary complaining that the cost of his coffee will go up a few cents so that the minimum wage worker making it can earn an extra buck an hour.

a barista can make hundreds of coffees a day, let alone the other things they sell.

But say they just made coffees and only 25 an hour - it would need less than 5c extra on the price of a coffee to cover the cost of the minimum wage increase

I think you can afford it, Mr Luxon.
