Salad bar in 2004. 6.50 a hour. Line cook was 6. Left in 2005 for a 8$ a hour job.

That sounds right for starting… by the time I left in 2004 I think I topped out at 8.25 though. I got .25 cent raises like I was salad-tossing royalty. As you could imagine, with that kind of cash flowing in I was really able to pimp out my ‘03 neon and turn it into quite the pussy magnet.

As Salad Tossing Royalty, you could probably do very well for yourself on OnlyFans now.

This was when the min wage was 5.15. It jumped up to 6 around 2007 and then again 7.25 in 2007.

That was a crime. Line cooks made 12 an hour plus in downtown hotels in the late 90s.
