Your day job probably pays so much more than minimum wage, that even a 2% raise does you more good than the 'gift' from coke. I just have such a hard time getting excited about 3% yielding stock.
I love 3% yield stocks with steady mid-high single digit dividend increases. Those constitute the core of my dividend growth portfolio.
Not that I do not have some higher yielding medium dividend growth stocks, I do.
