PLEASE!
As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, even many fast food places and gas stations are paying $12.50 or so. So if you need to earn more than $7.25, either start showing up sober so you qualify for McD's or better, or wait until you're 18 to move out.

When you talk about minimum wage employees, these are the ones who aren't responsible and hard working enough for even fast food. Darn right you can't make a decent living showing up an hour late and stoned out of your mind. Tough. Show up on time and you can make $12.50.
