Same, 6 years from 2005-2011, $7.50 an hour for a call was great money in 2005. I think we were up to $10 by the time I quit

    I was thinking that was shit money, but I was making $2.13 as a waiter in 1999-2000, so that's about right. I made $5.15 for awhile, then min wage was finally raised to $7.25, where it's been for almost 20 years.
