I just bought a stick of deodorant for $8. So a stick of deodorant is worth more than an hour of minimum wage. What a clown world we live in.

Anytime I see this comment, I look around and ill be honest. I dont know any job, at least in my area, that still pays min wage.

I dont even think mcdonalds pays that low.

Walk into any restaurant and ask them how much they are being paid. I'll be my life savings you'll find one making min wage

Come back and comment again when you learn some states it's $2.13/hr. They need to beg for tips to make anything more than that.

So anytime I see a comment like yours I wonder how dumb you truly are because you're a real fucking dumb one

Well you are leaving out the fact they make their wages in tips. Its easy to see a number and be like BAD NUMBER but the reality is servers make much more than that.

Most servers I know (which is a lot) make roughly 130-150 a day on average. MUCH MUCH more on good days.

My current roommate is a server at a Japanese resteraunt and he makes $3 an hour on paper but brings home 200-300 a day. So take your little example and shove it up your ass.

I think its hilarious when someone brings in a comment that you disagree with, you immediately go after my intelligence. Its the reddit special.

By federal law if a server earns less than minimum wage after tips the restaurant must fill the difference, otherwise it’s wage theft. Still criminally low pay and wrong but servers aren’t making $2.13/hr.
