I'm from Kentucky where it's the same and they generally reserve the $7.25 hourly wage for the most vulnerable people with few options like 16 year olds getting their first job or immigrants.

When I was in high school washing dishes for $7.25 an hour the justification is that it's something everyone should go through to "build character", by which they mean the Protestant work ethic.
