@markyadavies Indeed. People focus on the minimum wage and don't consider the prices that pair with that wage. I remember 10 cents a pound as the typical price for potatoes.

I have a 1967 lunch menu for the restaurant where I work. Back then you could have strolled in for lunch, had a sandwich on Italian bread, with tomato, onion, etc., and walked out leaving two quarters on the table. That 50 cents covered the sandwich and a 20 percent tip. 🤯
