<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, I agree with you, it's a ridiculous price to pay for a cup of coffee.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Mike et al, </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>> One problem I found was, on Wednesday night between 5 pm and 8 pm, there </DIV>
<DIV>> was no dancing yet, no vendor halls to walk through (they weren't open </DIV>
<DIV>> until Thursday) and NO FOOD COURTS OPEN. I think somebody lost a big </DIV>
<DIV>> opportunity to sell some food and make some money. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>you're right,- almost only the Starbucks store was open on ground floor. </DIV>
<DIV>I remember this because I slendered around and thought why on the earth </DIV>
<DIV>people are willing to pay three to five Dollars (=work up to an hour) </DIV>
<DIV>just for a cup of coffee ... </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I believe that all organizers of the 56th did hope or expect that all </DIV>
<DIV>present people would attend the buffet & show event which was running </DIV>
<DIV>from 5 pm till 8:30 pm. </DIV>
