30 -45 minute commute is hardly a barrier to go to a job. That would be an easy drive in many parts. If one uses close to home as a job qualifier then many opportunities are lost.

Default White Castle

Was in Indianapolis last month - made three trips to White Castle - but can't imagine driving to Orlando for a fix.

White Castle workers earn $13.00 per hour and $14.00 after 90 days. That may be the future to keep positions filled.

I liked the movies about White Castle but never developed a taste for these when I lived in the Midwest.

Also I do not like onions that much. Are The Onions In White Castle Burgers Really Cabbage Pieces Soaked in Onion Juice? | culinarylore.com

Federal minimum wage $7.25 hr. Florida minimum wage currently $8.65. In November 2020, Florida voters approved Amendment 2 increasing the minimum wage to $10.00 hr in September 2021. The minimum wage increases 1.00 per year until 2026 when it will be $15.00 hr. In Florida. Tipped employees currently receive $5.63 hr. plus tips. Under Amendment 2 the wage increases each year until 2026 when it is $11.98 hr. plus tips. In addition, a bill in the Florida legislature has been proposed to reduce the Florida minimum wage for those under 21 years of age. The growth of The Villages has practically exhausted the available labor pool for not only minimum wage jobs but also many professional and skilled labor jobs too. This is a problem that will not go away in the foreseeable future. This is the reality... I don’t see a White Castle for The Villages in the near future but will have to see this Orlando White Castle for myself in the near future.

We had some Imported for us yesterday. Even though we had to reheat those babies they were exactly like the ones from up there. You only have to pay for the burger once but you get to have it twice.

I love 'em but they don't love me like when I was a youngin.
