I know I might get downdoots for this Reddit. But it's something that I really do believe in. I'm not even on minimum wage but just the other day I saw my coffee engineer at my local Starbucks (out of 30 local ones) actually hold back tears as she struggled to complete my order.
I said to her 'young lady, how much do you earn an hour'?
She said 'minimum wage' and began to cry.
I saw the manager of the store approach and I told him 'she deserves more!' and took my coffee and left. But as I left, I could see her mouth 'thank you' to me.

Edit: Thanks for the kind updoots!
Edit 2: Wow I didn't expect this to get so many responses!
Edit 3: Some of you are asking why I didn't do more to help. I only make $500k a year and live in the lowest income region in the world. What do you expect me to do? I can't pay her a better salary but I know she should have a better one.
