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.

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE...NO ONE WITH A LEGAL SSN MAKES
LESS THEN MIN. WAGE!!
Restaruants are hardly going to change their compensation policies at this point in the game, and even if they did, they'll just pass the cost on, your $8 burger would now cost $10...so what's the freaking difference?? My husband has never been to cooking school, but cooks in a restaurant and makes decent money.
Walmart's benefits are universal. They couldn't offer more benefits to one store's employees then another stores. And their rate of pay matches the cost of living vs. skill level for that part of the country.
