Okay, delimited the hours for aged 18+...

*still unhappy*

Why does the 18-21 group have a lower minimum wage anyway?

That's an excuse, not an argument. ;)

It's not an excuse, it's my rationale for putting it in...

What's wrong with it? It's just a transitional/development fee for those who aren't quite in full adulthood yet, but require more than children. If I removed it and just had a two-tiered system would you be less opposed?...

Make it two tiered: under 18 and 18+. There's no reason whatsoever to have a special rule for 18-21 year olds.

Ah! I just realised why there's the middle bracket. It's those who have part-time jobs. They're not exactly paper-rounds, but it's people our age who need more money than those who are younger. But not as much as those who have "proper" jobs. It's for part-timers really. Whatever, it seems to matter to you so much so I removed it...

Well you could put it back for just part-time jobs - my objection was that a lot of people our age need full time jobs. :rolleyes:
