With that argument, any employer can pay any employee less than minimum wage by arguing that they don't do "minimum wage work." The point of minimum wage is that subminimum-wage jobs should not exist at all.

Your wife sounds like mine. I value transparency and openness fundamentally, but after a decade of "no" to almost everything, I've learned that if I just do stuff without asking, she frequently says, "Oh, that's a nice idea."
