Name a few, besides the ones I've already told you aren't true.



There is no such thing as a "less then min. wage job" for anyone with a legal SSN.



I worked at Walmart in Highschool five years ago and I made $6.50 an hour. Fulltime employees make more then that, plus the benefits aren't as crappy as people like to make you think they are.
Most hospitals here in OK do pay min. wage for the janitorial/kitchen staff. Wait staff makes less than min. wage and shouldn't have to rely on tips as the rednecks here in OK don't usually know how to tip, the restaurant should pay minimum wage not pass the cost to the customers. Unless you've been to a cooking school, most kitchen staff makes min. wage. And as I already pointed out, waitresses make less than min. wage. Walmart might pay more in your area, however people I know, stockers and cashiers, make 5.25 full time and hardly have benefits.
