And yet people don’t think retail workers should get a living wage. I’ve literally gotten a five cent raise myself.

8 cent raise right here

Food industry is quite similar to retail.

Literally the difference between a supervisor role and base pay for us is 50 cents or less. And when you’re talking about four hour shifts, and roles change each shift, it’s not much.

Supervisor pay bump was something like ~$2 with the previous security company. Was nice when the supervisor went on maternity and I temporarily got the gig and that raise plus two shifts of overtime a week. My pay checks doubled for a couple months.

She just went on maternity again, but the new company isn’t making one of us the supervisor in her stead, she’s supposed to keep those responsibilities even while she’s gone. Plus only getting one shift of OT a week this time. On the plus side though this new company does straight up pay me ~$2 more an hour base.
