My biggest problems with minimum wage and Child labor laws are not so much economic, but cultural. By restricting low income, supplementary jobs, we greatly inhibit our ability to instill our youth with a work ethic. Do you remember when you'd pull into a service station, get your window washed, and have your oil checked at no charge? When's the last time that happened to you? Wonder why that went away? If and when that happens these days, I tip liberally, though it used to be expected, not too many years ago.

I got my window washed yesterday...But I had to make my wife get out and do it

My local Sunoco still washes your windshield, they even wear a Sunoco shirt and tie and they will check your oil if you ask them. This is also the only gas station in town not run by ragheads.

Safford, Arizona. Last Spring.

A Mobil station on the main drag. Self-service prices, but the attendants pumped the gas, washed the windshield, checked the oil, the works.

Why? "Because we want your business".

I'll stop there again next Spring...
