Idk what this means? Minimum wage is not a living wage nor should it be. Minimum wage is meant for jobs that require minimum skills. When you’re going to college and need beer money or retired and want to stay mobile. There are tons of jobs out there that pay above min wage however you have to adhere to a strict 9-5/5 schedule. With service work, you have the flexibility to work different hours but with that flexibility comes the trade off of potentially lower wages. I know a ton of restaurant works who make really good money and they bust their ass for it. Imo if you’re working for min wage in a restaurant you should only be doing so to learn the business and start your own thing…

Tell me you think people should accept indentured servitude without using those words exactly. Lol you are 100% wrong in everything you said. Maybe look up when, how, and why the minimum wage was instituted then come back and try to make some sense.
