That is absolutly, 100% correct.

I've waitressed in a small town (13,000 population) diner, and I AVERAGED $10/hour. Including the nights when I went home with $10 all night on a slow night.

Hell, I worked at Waffle House as an in-between jobs-job (scariest month of my life, never been happier to quit a job) and I averaged about $9/hr.
