Paltry Pay

The issue of minimum wage has come up again.

The reported hourly wages (HK$7.8 = US$1) of some Hong Kong workers are meager indeed:

· McDonald's junior staff: $15 (about US$1.90)

· Airport cleaners: $15

· Cafe de Coral delivery persons: $16

· McDonald's senior staff: $18

· Pizza Hut delivery persons: $19

· 7-Eleven / Circle K clerk: $20

· DHL courier: $40

After reviewing these wages, I'm more glad than ever that I tip delivery people.
