Honest question but where do people actually get paid minimum wage?

I got paid $7.25 at Blockbuster..... 20 years ago. The local grocery store and McDonalds starts at $13-14.

Part of the problem for sure though is jobs like Uber, where sometimes people scrape minimum wage.

My wife had a part time job at Academy stocking heavy camo and doing trucks and she only got paid $7.25. A keyholder position at Godiva only paid her $10,and it included counting money, closing, running the deposit, and opening in the morning, plus dipping a crapton of strawberries. This is why we're completely confused by the people at Target who want $18 an hour to do the same thing or the McD people who want $15.

I still think minimum should be $10 though, and people should be happy about it.
