Yup, and then total out to 5.25 by 2026. Why do you think their prices have started so low over the years?

(I'm not American so I have no idea what their prices are, but understood).

It's also the wage for the tipped employees, the catch is that if the tips don't make a minimum of 7.25hr (federally it's different in some states) the business is suppose to make it up.

Supposed to make it up. Doesn’t mean they always do, and if you’re living paycheck to paycheck you can’t easily sue for lost wages
