You really do not understand how hard people there are worked.

Oh, god, this. Every time I hear the "well if they just worked harder" shite about people in low-paying jobs I want to turn our former nanny's story into a bat and beat them over the head with it, because there is no fucking way ANYONE has worked HARDER than she has, all her life, against huge odds, and working for my mom was the best pay she ever got. (Which: my mom paid well for childcare, as she viewed it as important. Unfortunately, then we all grew up.)

Just. Nobody. If virtue and hard work and intelligence really were automatically rewarded, this woman would be richer than Warren Buffet. She's not, and she still works too hard.

Yeah. It's not about how hard you work in these positions--they're not minimum wage because they're easy or hard. They're minimum wage because the a) you don't have a lot of responsibility, so if you fuck up, you probably only end up upsetting one customer. A CEO can destroy a company with a fuckup and put thousands of people out of a job. And B) it's not a specialized skillset that takes a lot of money to learn and get good at.

A lot of people are surprised how hard you have to end up working in these menial jobs.
