Where I worked at everyone was paid minimum wage.  Those of you who worked at those other stores are lucky.  No one at our store ever got a raise unless you became a manager or crew leader.  Even people who had worked there for over a year were given raises. Then again our store owner was a dick.  In a fit of rage he threw a cheddar burger through the window and hit a woman who worked the bun station. Bob Messenger had to come into the store before because of the owner's behavior.  Hostile work environment much?
