This waitress on 25 bucks, for a forty hour week that’s a thousand bucks or 50k a year. I’m gonna hazard a guess that the condo is not in a major city?
Added to that, the AUD to USD exchange rate is shit too, 18 AUD is about 13 USD.

I don't believe in the USA they get holiday pay, penalty rates, long service payments, superannuation and all the other "extras" that go on top of the "min" wage. Which bring the min wage here closer to 24 a hour. Casual over full time is instantly + 25% here ^^
15 USD hour ( 20 Aus) still seems low but its more in tune with the rest of the western world.
Robbies still living in 1984 that's obvious.. :P
