Nickels and Dimes / Cocktail Waitress

I actually for the first time enjoyed reading both stories because its actually something you understand because its talked about all the time. I like the way Einrech went and experienced how to live on minimum wage. It doesn't make sense how people get paid so much little when doing these jobs instead of at least getting paid so that they can afford to live healthy and not struggle pay check to pay check. How can you possibly get by in america when everything is so expensive?? Going to the next story I liked the way both Spradly and Mann explained the life of a cocktail waitress. It relates to the first story because being a cocktail waitress is a minimum wage job and the examples that she gave of the other help to explain in depth. I liked the way it pointed out the social structure of the bar and also th networking of the people whom she serves.
