It was understood that working as a waitress at a restaurant was for tips. And working at a fast food joint was a starter job for kids out of high school.
And nobody is "celebrating". Just the opposite. I can only wonder what kids are going to do for an entry level job. They no longer exist when people have to pay out $15 an hour for UNSKILLED bullshit work.
So it will now be automated. You should pat yourself on the back since you were one of the ones here on GFY cheering for a "living wage" nonsense for minimum wage.
Congrats to you Tony!

"Up until recently food workers NEVER even made minimum wage in most states that I am aware of." Really the cooks and dish washers get paid less than min wage? That only applies to waiters and waitresses.
Most min wage fast food workers are much older now, these were the people that would of worked good factory jobs but most of those are gone.. I cant remember the last time I saw a kid working at a fast food restaurant or a grocery store. Its all adults.
