It was close to 3 AM when we stopped for the 3rd time. We holed up in a Waffle House to have some eggs and coffee. The only other people in the restaurant was a young couple, who Dottie later told us met online and were seeing each other in person for the first time. They were now planning to move in with each other.
Dottie shared with us that here hourly wage was $2.00.
"Isn't it illegal to pay that little?"
"No, they count our tips."
Judging from the crowd the graveyard shift sees here, it is a wonder how anyone could survive on that kind of wage.
We tipped her well.
