Lifeguard Tryouts for SoWal

[Uncle Timmy]

$12.50 is minimum wage when one has to pay $2.50+ per gallon to commute into SoWal daily from the closest 'affordable' living area. The lifeguards should at least be pulling in upwards of $20 per hour.

Well since you started this train of thought, let's take it further:

What should the minumum wage for south Walton be?

-Starting with the Florida minimum wage rate of $6.40/hour and factoring in a Cost of Living Index.

Or what should that rate be assuming, as you say, that minimum wage workers are commuting from Freeport or DeFuniak Springs?

$20/ hour sounds a little arbitrary, I want to hear a line of reasoning behind a figure.

Wow, I lifeguarded for years during summer breaks in high school/college and we only got paid minimum wage.

Will the test require prospective guards to run in slow motion down the beach, blond hair-a-flying ala Baywatch?

I just keep thinking about David Hasslehoff and his cameo in the Spongebob movie!

I am thinking of a different blonde in a different movie. I may have to go watch the tryouts myself. Hubba, hubba.

By the way, Ms Lucille's Gossip Parlor is also hiring with average pay around $11 per hour and you do not have to give mouth to mouth. :funn:

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Kimmi- you don't get to "select" the recipients of mouth-to-mouth!

I guess you have never had to give mouth to mouth and had the victim puke in your mouth?

True...Never did it. I'm certified though. I'm sure I'd screw it up anyway.

You're right...it was an arbitrary number...but I like your challenge. Let me look at it and get back to you. In the meantime, do you have a wage in mind, or are you planning on sticking to the $6.40 per hour as a living wage for the area?
