Thunk, there's a federal minimum wage. That means that no place in the country can have a wage for any legal worker under that amount for it to be legal. States also have set minimum wages, but if they do, they have to be higher than the federal minimum wage. In about two years, I think the minimum wage will be raised to $7.25 or something to that amount (part of the bill passed several months ago). The minimum wage hasn't been $4.25 for a LONG time, since it had not been changed forever before the bill that was passed (I think it was the same wage for twenty years (might be longer, so don't quote me on this amount), so it hurt laborers due to the inflation of currency during those years).
Illegal workers, though. are still entitled to make $4.25 an hour.
Nony, that means that you are entitled to charging higher. You're being far too generous. =P
Oh, and the highest I've gone in a single day was to D+. It's impossible for me to play a large number of games (for me, that's more than 10).

Waiters are an exception to minimum wage, because of tips... it's not likely that he's making below 8 dollars an hour as a waiter.

The minimum wage for waiters is different. The reason is that it is assumed you will make so many dollars an hour on average from tips, so for a waiter, 2.13 is minimum wage. Most people tip 15-20%, which is customary. For some restaurants, if your meal is more than X dollars, they automatically force you to pay an 18% minimum tip.
Unfortunately, foreigners who come to this country don't understand that and generally do not tip at restaurants. Also, the poor, the elderly and devout religious types (of ALL religions) are notoriously bad at tip giving. Activist types are also notoriously bad. The rich are very hit or miss. The best tippers are generally middle class families with children.

Just takes 40 wins and tbh Day9 shouldn't be losing vs C+s. 40 games in a day is very possible. And very tiring. I'm like done after I play 8-11 games although that's only because I get really bored.
