Ain't it the truth!! I hear these wages and I think back to my young days when you were lucky to earn a buck an hour. I remember being elated when the minimum wage went from a buck to a buck twenty five.

I also recall when Coke in a machine was a nickel and the pay phone in the drug store hangout was a nickel.

I'm in NC, living 15 miles from where I was born.
I remember my mom sending me to the drug store with two dimes to get her a pack of cigarettes. The pack came out of the machine with two pennies scotch-taped to it; and I'm not making that up.
