Coin dealer audit

A coin dealer recently received a letter from the Department of Labor,
They suspected he was not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and they would send an inspector to interview them.
On the appointed day, the inspector turned up.
“Tell me about your staff,” he asked.
“Well,” said the dealer,
“there’s the web manager, I pay him $340 a week with profit sharing.
Then there’s the receptionist.
She gets $290 a week, along with sick leave and paid health care.
There’s also the half-wit.
He works a 16 hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about $25 a week along with a bottle of whiskey and, as a special treat, occasionally gets to sleep with my wife.”
“That’s disgraceful,” said the inspector,
“I need to interview the half-wit.”
“That’ll be me then,” said the dealer.

life is well hmm good
I wonder if any real dealer runs into state labor issues.
All I have is a half-wit that works in my office.
He is even working on Christmas Eve
Ah the travails of being a business owner.... It is, however, easy to complain to the boss....
who always listens...

I'm probably among the most gullible as a part time seller. The IRS sent me a whopping bill a few years ago because I hadn't included the paypal tax statement and ended up paying nothing. I wasn't born yesterday.
