Ngl $20/week is really low, and if i remember correctly the beginning of the second chapter said that the currency was converted to modern rates. This guy is being underpaid lowkey
"I HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST NAPKIN" only in Jojo does that sound intense for an actual reason.
If $20/week is today’s Money he is being scammed, but converting it it would be around the same as a $14.5/hour job which is still quite a bit above minimum wage
