How much was minimum wage when u first started working

[Spiider]

1995 my first job was Subway Sandwich for a bank breaking $3.35 per houras a 17 yr old. My first paycheck was like 57 dollars. I lasted about 6 pay periods saved up for the original Jordan 11s. And then I jacked half of the take one night when I closed the store by myself. I got about $300 dollars and quit. Then I spent the rest of the school yr paranoid thinking they were gonna come get me at any moment. They never did.

I think it was $5.15 federally, might've been slightly higher locally.

I think mine was 4.15 an hour. I remember a coworker had been hustling hard and his 2 week check was $500. He was sitting at the table showing everyone (McDonald's) and we all considered him balling for having a check so large

Should be a mandatory $15 nationwide in a perfect world. But that would crush a lot of small businesses.

You are not entitled to a successful business. If you have to pay substandard wages in order to be profitable then your setup is flawed off GP.
