Depending on state law, that goes up for night differential. It also goes up for what they call “metro markets”. Apparently they still make a profit. Note, profit is not evil, it is simply what is required for a business to stay in business and be there next year and maybe the year after to continue providing product. I realize that this site gets that, however some of the visitors may not.

Remember, the true minimum wage is $0.00

So the Manhattan Institute is advocating that the government should subsidize the wages of grocery store workers in poor areas of DC? Because at $8.25/hour, you can work 50 hours/week, never take a day off all year, and you’ll qualify for food stamps in DC.
