FALL RIVER Kerry Barlow has resigned herself to the fact that the new $13.50 state minimum wage is causing her to pay more for her daily fix of Dunkin’ brand hot and cold coffees.
“I’m paying for their raise, basically,” Barlow said, referring to minimum wage earners, after placing an order at the Dunkin’ inside the 7-Eleven on New Boston Road.
She doesn’t accuse franchise owners of being greedy.
“If I’m the owner I understand I have to raise prices to make money. I get it,” she said.
Barlow, 48, says she stops at Dunkin’ on her way into work and orders both a large hot and a medium frozen coffee. On her way home she stops off for another frozen coffee.

FALL RIVER Not every Phase 2 vaccination site in Fall River will be rolling into action on Monday.
Both CVS on President Avenue and Walgreens on Plymouth Avenue will begin administering COVID-19 vaccines on that first day of Phase 2, as part of the commonwealth’s long-term vaccination program.
But that’s not the case for the new regional inoculation site on the campus of Bristol Community College.
That site won’t swing into action until Wednesday, according to Elaina Pevide, spokeswoman for Mayor Paul Coogan.
And Pevide said the regional site on Elsbree Street “for the foreseeable future” will only be open to the public on Wednesdays.
