Heh, heh, Sandwich Shop Employees Protest for Higher Wages...Get Fired (independence, New Jersey)

The minimum wage in 1976 is $2.30. Today that equals $9.50 of course you did fine. That's about the same 10 an hour I was talking about anyway.

Harrier paid for both the cost of the ServSafe course and the transportation to Downey, CA for his employee.

Harrier misspoke earlier - the course did not take place in Sacramento.

Sacramento was where the certification was issued.

It has been a few years.

Harrier forgot and apologizes for the inaccuracy.

They still do the same in New Jersey. You also got tips for that. I wish they brought that back everywhere to. It would create alot more jobs.

How can you say you work harder? I know people who make minimum wage doing heavy lifting all day. Todays economy is much tougher then it was back then.

Please name them.

Harrier will proceed to refute your nonsensical claims, and in doing so prove that you are a liberal.

That doesn't change the fact it hasn't kept up with inflation. The inflation calculator took taxes into effect so I'm sorry for the confusion.

Having worked manual jobs during high school and professional jobs after college, the physical jobs were far less tiring. In those physical jobs, I never thought about my job one minute after clocking out. Not true today.

Actually, today I would say is worse. Especially since they want more for less. Whats difference about burger flipping today and back then. Nothing. Except ruder customers.

That's a load of bull. But its also beside the point. Minimum wage has not kept up with inflation and that is a fact.
