No. It's not a joke. There's tons of jobs out there that pay the same and involve more labor and/or a work environment with a less pleasant temperature. Pretty much any outdoor manual labor job and many food service jobs will meet those criteria.

This was not an act of nature. It was the manager cutting the costs. 80 degrees is not a normal accepted indoor temperature. This is unusual punishment given the context and norms.

Expecting something different from a job outdoors or in a kitchen would, I agree, be a little ridiculous. The wage should of course be adjusted accordingly, but this is just disrespectful.

Middle of the road? Try $8.00/hr.
