I used to manage a pizza place and we paid minimum wage. When I started there I made $6 something/hour. Years later we were taking applications through an online portal and it claimed we offered competitive wages. Minimum wage was 7.25 by then and that's what we paid.
I asked my district supervisor how he could use that language. He told me it is competitive, everywhere else also pays minimum wage.
