they make more than most of you realize.
$21/hr x 40 hours = $840 x 4 weeks and a few days ~ $3360 minus Fed tax - State tax - FICA.
Now check out west side rents for a month.
What they earn is less than it seems.
We stopped at Brown's Deli in the Fairmont Orchid a week ago for lunch. Couple of counter sandwiches and drinks were almost $50. While waiting, three teenage girls walked in, perfect teeth, perfect hair, manicures, pedicures, the casual clothes they wore probably cost more than each of the young woman prepping food orders made in a week. The counter was a stark dividing line between the haves and the have nots. I don't know how the young woman behind the counter came to choose their jobs at the deli. But I do know the rich girls at their tender age came by what they had more through luck than tenacity. If they had to get up at 3:30 AM to catch a flight for a Hawaiian vacation, first class seats even once a year they'd probably grumble more than the women lined up in Hilo to catch a bus at that early hour, 5 days a week 52 weeks a year.
