[Squaredancing] Discussion on the National in Charlotte

[Jryanvta at att.net]

Not to beat a dead horse, but I work for a social service agency and folks start out at $8/hr.  So there are many, many folks not even earning $15/hr.  And this is in So Cal where wages are a bit higher than most.

Heinz -- Perhaps its been awhile since you were in the States but the only ones still earning only $3.00 - $5.00 an hour are, perhaps, the illegal aliens.  I can think of nowhere in the USA now where most people are earning less than $15.00 - $20.00 an hour.

However, I agree with you, it's a ridiculous price to pay for a cup of coffee.

you're right,- almost only the Starbucks store was open on ground floor. 
I remember this because I slendered around and thought why on the earth 
people are willing to pay three to five Dollars (=work up to an hour) 
just for a cup of coffee ... 
I believe that all organizers of the 56th did hope or expect that all 
present people would attend the buffet & show event which was running 
from 5 pm till 8:30 pm.
