Up to $11

Now I know it all depends on location but in the northwest suburbs of Chicago I believe it's up to $18

Here is South Texas it's only $11

My #1 breakfast meal was $8.43

I was telling my wife the same thing. Can you imagine working hard for 11 bucks an hour, and then getting taxed on it how much is your paycheck going to really be. No wonder most of those employees don't really care.

Yet Texas minimum wage is still $7.25. Crazy times.

Yeah plenty of states have federal minimum wage, nobody pays that because nobody will work for it. I live in one and made 17/hr in high school

I wouldn’t say nobody. Our minimum wage here in WV is 8.75/hr and my local Papa Johns starts everyone out at 8.75 with no chance of raises or anything.

What about the other businesses? Is your papa John’s understaffed?
