Not necessarily true - look at Amazon. They are literally always hiring and have almost an endless list of available positions in practically every state.
There's a shortage of quality employment, not workers. People are already incentivized to not work at small businesses, by the way - Walfucks still pays more. Amazon pays more. Shit - even Costco gives cashiers a livable salary (the employees are actually happy there, unlike the other two).
Make corporations pay their workers more, the money trickles down to the local level.
Let corporations get away with lobbying to raise the minimum wage equally for everybody (as you're advocating), and small businesses go out of business.
There will never be a shortage of potential employees and people willing to take a pay cut to get away from a miserable workplace. Period.

You're putting words in my mouth. I'm not for a rise in minimum wage.
As for your idea, of it being tiered, based on the wealth on the employer, it could work, but I was pointing out a potential flaw in it. I think there would need to be data to support the idea, and, if it ended up yielding bad results, reverse the policy.
You'd want to measure unintended consequences of the idea. Things like more skilled (minimum wage) workers opting for big businesses than small businesses, big businesses avoiding/circumventing these laws in some capacity, and so forth.
Whether you stand for it or against it, they're going to raise the minimum wage anyway. If there's anything we should have learned in the time we've supported Q, it's that these big corporate fucks own this country, and they don't like competition, and that's why people like Warren Buffet want the minimum waged increased and are using Democrat politicians to force the issue. Liberal voters operate inside a vacuum; we don't speak up with a better solution, they're going to ram-rod in a terrible option. It's how it works. You don't adapt your strategy to the situation? It's as good as endorsing theirs.
We're given the situation. Now we have to find ways to react to it that turn it to our advantage. Maybe even force the minimum wage issue to backfire on Democrats by being vocal enough to make a stance that corporations pay more become the primary stance of the People.
To be frank, if we don't hit our corporate masters where it hurts sooner rather than later, our Citizens will just end up starved even more, local businesses even more dependent and in servitude to lenders for "paycheck protection," and a concentration of power so extreme in the hands of corporations as to who is hired that we'll all be wishing - if we're fortunate enough to get a job despite likely being outed by tech companies as Q supporters - we had enough to put bread on the table.
That's an interesting point. You're effectively advocating to use some of the sentiment of the left-wing populists against the elites who run the show.
Based on the principle of it, I'd disagree with raising minimum wage in any form (given the ways it may harm small businesses and your average-day person).
As a tactic to fight against the Left, I could see that as acceptable, given the alternative that you lay out.
This would incentivize people to not work at small businesses, in favour of the millionaire and billionaire businesses.
They wouldn't have enough positions to meet the demand and people would have to work for the small business anyway. Especially locals.

They also already pay more than most small businesses and people still quit all the time.
