And yes that's right, $3.50/hr. If you get tips they're allowed to play you below minimum wage.

When I fight for a $15 minimum wage I fight for my younger self, a girl fresh out of college making $3.50/hr as a waitress at night while working an unpaid internship during the day. I lived with my mom, I was lucky. We should be making a better world for the next generation.

Same. Worked as a server for 2.15 an hour for years. What a broken system

I paid $2.13 when I was waiting tables in the 90s. That's still the minimum wage for tipped employees and many places are still paying that 25 years later. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/faq/esa/flsa/002.htm#:~:text=Fair%20Labor%20Standards%20Act%20Advisor,-What%20is%20the&text=An%20employer%20of%20a%20tipped,%2430%20a%20month%20in%20tips ….

I don't even get paid $15 now but the immense difference now and when I was making $9+ at Starbucks is ridiculous

Worked minimum wage (or close to) jobs for a decade, and put myself through uni. I lived at home and didn't pay bills or buy groceries -- I don't understand anyone can expect an individual to support themselves, let alone a family on it.

I've never worked a minimum wage job. Never worked in restaurants/fast food. My first 'pretend' job paid $10/hr helping my uncle on building sites. I still believe the $15/hr minimum is the right thing, because if a job is worth doing, it's worth being paid a living wage for.

My first ever job was a grocery bagger for $6 an hour back in ‘08. $15 damn near should be the standard, if even that for 2021. At this point I’d say $20 at this point cuz of inflation.

It's all about exploiting people that produce more money than they get in return. The bigger the company, the more they want to minimize what their people get by believing they're easily replaceable.
