I specifically remember being a teenager around that time and trying to math out a part time job at McDonalds for 5.35 an hour and realizing how tough it all was.
- SoftTalker 2y agoIn 2000? Yeah that might be somewhat typical for fast food wages depending on locale. Minimum wage is a floor. It doesn't mean you can hire at that rate. Minimum wage in my state is the federal minimum ($7.25/hr) but restaurants here have to pay about double that to get anyone.
