Yeah I often talk with my wife how when I was young only freshly minted teenagers made minimum wage and if you came in on time and sober for your shifts you quickly got a token raise and continued to get one usually like less than a year timeframe. It would be like a nickle after maybe first big quarter one but it was there. Then like the shift manager of a fast food place was an adult who could afford an apartment of their own and a beater car. I was so unappreciative of the amount I got paid in high school in terms of eggs per hour.
