I think that's way off.

If you look in the classified ads in our Daily Sun, there's nothing more than a dollar over minimum wage.
Of course it's not. It's the AVERAGE weekly wage. People who do menial work earn minimum wage or just above.

But I do think that you may be wrong about servers in restaurants. By my casual observations I'd say that they do pretty well.

On the other hand, I know that Publix starts their employees at $10.00 per hour and Aldi actually pays higher than that. I'd say that's pretty good for entry level jobs.
