Anyone who thinks $20/hour is gross overpayment should try to live on $41,600/year.
When the cast member at Disney walks into his/her Walmart, guess what? Their eggs cost just as much as Joe Retiree living on a "fixed income". Gas costs just as much, but the working stiff has to buy more of it.
If you can't afford to tip the person behind the counter, or it brings a financial hardship to you, don't do it. But if that's the case, probably spending money on fast-food meals is not a great choice either.
I totally agree with whoever it was in a previous post who said watching too much TV news, whether it be CNN or FOX is a recipe for misery. Get out, breathe some Florida air, be glad we are not bracing for that ice storm. Try to enjoy the few precious days we have left. Don't let some TV newsperson with too much make-up spoil your day.
Carry on.
