Walmart, McDonald's and many other fast food places are hiring they pay way more than minimum wage. A door greeter at Walmart can get anywhere between $14-$16 an hour and the prices go up from there. people who shop for the online shoppers get paid $17 to $18 an hour or so I'm told. McDonald's starts at $18 an hour. Most fast food places are starting at $18 an hour and that's mostly because nobody wants to work. They're having to throw money at people to get them to work. So I don't know who's actually paying minimum wage in the state but every place I've looked into getting a job at they paid way more than that min wage

I didn't have that experience when I 1st moved here. My 1st experience was rudeness and cruelty. Behind my back where they thought I couldn't hear them they made fun of my Southern accent, called me a hillbilly And the whole bunch of other things and while I'm sure some people will read this and laugh, that wasn't the experience of someone who was in a state where they knew nobody, all alone trying to readjust to a life they wasn't used to 1600 miles from home needed to hear by people who pretended to her face to be kind people. I hated it here for my 1st year. I stayed away from everybody and everything. but in the last year I have met just as many kind people as I have met rude. So to be completely honest it's really no difference in the South. there are just as many douchebags in the North as there are in the South. Just as there are as many kind people in the North as there are in the South.
