(16,891 posts)From April of 2000 to July 2005, often complained about the cost of Health Insurance(She had none) herself until she turned 65 and got on Medicare. the shop opened at 10am. She would close the shop at 11:30 am for a lunch break and reopen at 1pm until 7pm. Of all the money she spent for lunch, she could have had the money for Health Insurance each month. I started bringing my lunch to the shop, remaining open while she was at lunch, then take my hour.
In the 5 years and 3 months I worked for her designing and making costumes for Rent or Sale, handle the customers who walked in, my wage increased by 50 cents total. A dime raise per year. I started at $8.50 an hour with no benefits and ended with $9 per hour. I have been on my own since then.
