I thought $7.25 was the federal minimum..

[SlowPokemon]

Isn't minimum wage 7.40?

It differs by state.

Hmm so much rage. I think I should open a bar or spend a tinychat session wiping a beer mug on camera.

I'm about ready to kill something...

Sometimes (barely ever) I'm paid half minimum wage ($7.25 an hour). I wish I could get a real job, working the same or less and getting some actual money for it.

You're lucky. Minimum wage in Texas IS $7.25.

Perhaps you missed which days they were. The days a normal teenager should be with his friends, or doing anything else. God I hate having to tell me friends no, I can't do that, my dad's making me work, over and over again. Eventually they're gonna stop asking me. And btw it's not just two days a week. Those are the only two definite days, basically it's friday and saturday plus whenever else he wants me to.

I work on Friday and Saturday, too. The difference is that I get payed a set amount, no matter how early I show up.

...I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

I get paid $20 a month for washing dishes everyday. You know how many dirty dishes there are from a family of 6 people? Money is still money, peoples. Just be happy with what you have. >.< I has to pay for fat hammies and pay for my own food cuz everybody's all like, "YOU HAVE A JOB. PAY YOUR OWN STUFF. PAY FOR ME."

That's why it's called minimum wage.

Not if it's a family thing -.-

Also there's a lot of dishes. La. >__>

[Jub3r7]

Nope, because parents/relatives can do whatever they want, and it's not child labor since we both work in a family business.

I'm happy with what I have. Except customers. I'm afraid I'm going to become racist.
You know how if you work somewhere long enough you learn to hate the customers?
Well, all the customers, are, yeah.

[Saria]

I HATE EVERYBODY TOO. HA HA.

Lolno he's my dad, apparently that gives him right to be a douche

[Mashi]

Have you tried asking your dad and explaining why you wouldn't like to work on those two days?  Or perhaps you could just work one of those days and play with your friends on the other?  I'm sure he'll understand if you just asked him.  You could even bring a few of your friends over and try to convince him if he says otherwise.

LET'S PLAY BASEBALL, SLOW. HAHAHAHAHA.
