Keep in mind as you look at these figures, our national poverty line, according to the Federal Register, is $18,000 for a household of 3 individuals. Source 

So when you're having your food served to you in a cafeteria, drinking coffee at the local coffee shop, getting your hair shampooed, eating and leaving dirty dishes to be cleaned at a restaurant, having your food prepared and served or driving through a fast food drive through... if they screw up something, try not to over react, what can you expect their just trying to feed their families.

After looking at these figures, I will be more patient with the workers in the lowest paid jobs in America.

As for the highest paid jobs, well, they don't need my thanks. They can just look at their bank accounts and that should be thanks enough.
