Don't remember if it was minimum or not, but 2.25$ an hour, that's not counting selling Xmas trees and cutting grass.

same 5.15 at the Shell by Lafreniere. I would do full service gas, and plug tires and change oil. I got tipped sometimes. Job was easy.

I've never worked for minimum wage, but last summer, I worked for $8/hr for a few weeks before being bumped up to $9. That was the least I'd ever worked for while being officially employed. My first real job payed $12/hr
