Really? Isn't a barista like a waiter? And she only make $20 an hour? Must be a shitty waitress, really ugly, and probably both.
As for your "nephew", that's either a completely fictitious person, or you're a lying sack 'o' shit...I go for the latter choice.
In Australia the minimum wage is $16 per, with one for sure exemption in the Labour Law allowing Fast food establishments to pay 16 year olds a wage...here it comes...of $7.97 per hour. Coincidently the same as the American MW, more or less.
And here comes automation to reduce not only higher wage older workers, but to reduce the hours worked by same Older Workers.
I've seen some order machines in a few fast food places here to try them out, I guess.
Boy...can you embarrass yourself some more?
BC has been posting a long time, and he actually is interesting to read...and you are so obviously a non-braniac it's embarrassing for Australia.
I'll bet MariahIsGay loves your posts...:rofl2:
Oh yes...before you start squawking and flapping your little Kiwi wings here's the Google-obtained (under 15 seconds) true info you seem to have missed before making up your "nephew"...

National minimum wages for apprentices, juniors & trainees
There are special national minimum wages for trainees, apprentices and juniors who don’t have an award or agreement. From 1 July 2013 these are:
Juniors:
Age % of national minimum wage Minimum hourly rate
Under 16 36.8% $6.03
16 47.3% $7.74
17 57.8% $9.46
18 68.3% $11.18
19 82.5% $13.51
20 97.7% $16.00
I get it...you feel that as an Australian you have complete knowledge of all things Aussie...and as well you can lecture smarter people than yourself on their country's economic and political structure as well.
After all, you are a (Junior College?) student here, while BC is a mere practicing attorney, well read and actually graduated a University with real professors and all.
And he has many posts which mostly make sense.
(Gotta be honest,BC, those "Mariah is OK " posts always did puzzle me...)
You seem to confuse even yourself...
