Wasn't making fun of them, but they're always the first business that comes to mind when discussing "entry-level" jobs. Your point further instills that people actually minimum wage is an uncommon thing anymore. If you are stuck making it, work more hours to make what you need to. I've always worked WAY more than 40 hours a week no matter what field/career I'm in. I currently have 2 accounting jobs and am "on call" for contract work with a large architectural firm. I do taxes and build/repair computers on the side occasionally too. If you need more, do more. This applies to any education level. Heck, I've even sold, well attempted to sell vacuum cleaners before!
Yeah, store managers DO make good money.
I don't eat there, but if someone is working there hard to support their family, I have all of the respect in the world for them. They're a highly successful business, even though I think their product is crap.
