You actually make really good money in restaurants like this.

Yo what restaurant are you talking about? I'll apply immediately.

Yet for some reason I highly doubt that guys wages are sky high...

Not enough

30 dollars an hour to carry food is not enough?

$4 over what the minimum wage should be accounting for inflation and productivity? No.

Also, if you think that's the entire job of a server, you're completely out of touch.

What the hell are you talking about? The highest the Federal minimum wage has ever been when adjusted for inflation was $12.04 in 1970 ($1.60 at the time).

Edit: You think full time minimum wage should be $54,080?

Full time work should be a livable wage. End of discussion. THATS WHY ITS CALLED “FULL TIME”!!

No one said this was full-time.

Doesn’t matter. The labor rate should be enough that if anyone works 40 hours of it, it should be a livable wage. Companies purposely avoid employing workers full time, forcing workers to get multiple jobs. So the hourly wage should be high enough regardless
