and everybody whining about minimum wage... i'm not baby boomer, but i remember being paid $4.85 as a bus boy, with $20 bucks in a tip a week. then $5.15 as a server, with $100-$150 tip days. when i finally got my first summer job in my field, and was offered $10.50, I couldn't sign on the dotted line soon enough. Now starting wage in my field for someone with NO experience is $20/hour... crazy...
