Who even gets paid minimum wage? My kids started at fast food for several dollars above minimum, to where I'm not even sure what the point is.

You're observing a snapshot period and confusing it for the whole.

Wages don't go down though, or at least I've never seen it. And rarely have I seen wages sit at minimum, indicating that the market wage isn't linked to the federal minimum wage. I understand that this may be different in other parts of the country. This is just my experience.

I got paid minimum wage when I was a supermarket cashier.
-
Makes sense. Like fast food, it's a job that doesn't require experience or any particular skill set.
-
No it does, I still remember all the produce codes and find myself tetrising my own grocery bags. A good cashier is faster, cleaner, and saves you money.

Basically every "tipped" job gets paid minimum wage (or below).
-
Yeah that's true, but with tips they actually do pretty well so it's tough to count that in discussions about minimum wage.
