Less than minimum wage.
Look forward to the angry posts this summer about lack of workers.
Isn’t that illegal, why would these kids want to work there for less than minimum wage. When they can go work somewhere else and make a little bit more beard doesn’t make sense, why doesn’t the village just pay at least minimum wage. What’s wrong with them every day is something else with the village. to the right thing. Just amazing last year. You couldn’t find any employees. Do you want the same thing this season. I blame management for that no one else they’re the ones in charge.
Another summer of reduced hours is coming.
They can make more money at Burger King. Smash burger is paying 17’$ bucks. Who’s in charge. Stop the nonsense. It’s the same problem that the d p w has with the yard waste crew. They can’t even find workers for that job, again they have to put full time workers on that too get it done.
