I've brought this up in other, similar threads, but it bears repeating here: working full time at $10.33/hour is about $1650/month, before taxes, eligible for food stamps by about $50/month. It seems insane that the US Government is contracting out their cafeteria in the senate to a company which is going to get paid to be there, get paid for the food they sell, and then that company is getting another subsidy by paying their employees well under the Welfare limits.
Even then, this woman is getting paid above minimum wage for DC.
