> if you receive tips from your job, instead of the $7.25/hr minimum wage, you can get paid as low as $2.13/hr And yet some workers still fiercely defend it and will insist these rules stay in place. They've been brainwashed by the system to think they will somehow make less if subminimum is eliminated. > It's why one Goodwill was at one point paying a guy **$0.22/hr**: This is absolutely disgusting. Fuck that company. Selling donations at market rate and exploiting workers all while claiming nonprofit status. Like a true capitalist. If the company is non profit and they're triple dipping on the merchandise and labor, where's the money going? [Seems a lot goes to executive pay and "grants" to other Goodwill organizations](https://paddockpost.com/2025/02/14/executive-compensation-at-goodwill-2023/) I wonder how much of that grant money is used for salaries in those organizations.
