When we moved to San Diego, my girlfriend couldn't find a job and ended up working at a coffee shop and school for minimum wage. Luckily California requires that all jobs pay minimum wage, even if you make tips. With tips she ends up with maybe $15/hr, which is livable for us. Working at a grocery store would drive me nuts. I worked at one in the summer in high school and I dreaded every single second. My singular purpose that underlies everything I do, is to not have to work a job like at a grocery store.
