The Ben 10 Affleck-Out: I feel like fame is wasted on me.

Someone imposed a cap on how much you can pay per hour?

This is completely contrary to how this shit should work. I don't.... :psyduck:

So anyway, kid is totally biting off more than he can chew. Should move down to 40. At 60 you're effectively living at your job.

Shit sucks.

Oh, it turns out I'm getting paid Minimum + commission. I could swear minimum was $8.15. Turns out I'm getting a better deal than I thought.

Gov mandates it be at least $7.25

Now for illegal workers here (of which there are plenty) yeah $2 sounds probably too high :lol

Yeah I'm pretty excite about the job, assuming from how he looked and reacted during, and after our sit in at the food court I got it. I mean, he's even spending his employees time to have me trained at another location.

$1.50 per sale. If I can get at least 4 sales a hour which is probably optimistic, I get $11 a hour. Not all that bad. I'm happy for a first job.

Less than $1 difference isn't much of a difference.

But about the low wages; petrol and electricity are cheaper in the states iirc so maybe it balances out, idk :shrug:
But I do know that very few Americans I know of online own their own house, regardless of age.

If they're legally entitled to work then they should be covered by the same regulations.
If you're talking about cash in hand workers that are illegal immigrants then that happens everywhere...no minimum wage obviously :wacko:

But food service workers/tipped are exempt.

So they often have sub-7.25 wages. Often in the $2-3 per hour range.

Hence why not tipping gets you a loogie in your food.

$2 an hour looks like an incentive for criminal activity.
Like the black dude selling morphine with the popcorn in LA Noire.

It's usually in the $4 range for them, because they assume like a $3 average per table or something to bring it up.

And yet

Inb4 Wiki isn't a valid source.

$30 per table when a syrette is involved.

It has to be stolen military grade though.

None of that bathtub shit.
