“The minimum wage in the UK is roughly $10/hr USD against the US’s $5.15/hr.”

Also in the US tips are expected, whereas in Europe they are not (although they are generally accepted). I couldn’t find any info on the relative amounts made in tips, but they are not included in wage comparisons.

Waiters earn tips, and generally earn less than 5.15 due to this. Cashiers at Burger King, Book shelvers at a University Library, and such menial jobs earn no tips and recieve 5.15 minus taxes for their labor.

Well apparently Jon Palmer was making more than $13/hr slinging coffee in Tulsa ;)
