I was a business major, but I also worked in fast food during college. I know how corporations game things so that employees get paid less. I know that $55K is not enough to deserve "work overtime for free".

Years ago, one of the big fast food chains was sued (and lost) over giving low-paid salaried assistant managers no real managerial decision making authority, but using "you're salaried" as an excuse to steal hours of unpaid labor each week. It looks like the restaurant industry seeks to keep doing this.
