When I was 16 years old, I was flipping burgers. Minimum wage was (I think) $2.35, and was going up 30 cents.

So we had a team meeting, my first business meeting. Management explained that their costs were going up, so our hours were going down. Nice red pill.

Thankfully, I was a pretty skilled burger flipper, so I got perhaps a dozen raises, often five cents.

They just sent people home early if the labor % was too high/slow times. IDK how it was calculated as I was never a mgr, but I was sent home plenty. They asked the teenagers to go home first rather than the lifers.
