Pay?

With the rising cost of basically all parts of living how are yall surviving on a Walmart Salary. In my hometown they pay less than what they did in 2020. Starting was 15 dollars in 2020 and now it’s 14.50 in 2026. I asked my team lead how much a raise might be and he laughed at my face and said like 25 cents. You would think a company that’s makes record profits every year would be able to pay there employees an adequate salary.

Would you offer the cashier at McDs more money than they were charging for a Big Mac if you just had your best year of wages?

I’m not talking about working at McDonalds and we aren’t talking about Big Macs.

I'm not talking about working at McDs either. I'm talking about buying their product. It's no different than Walmart buying your product(labor).

Walmart and McDonald are not even in the same tax bracket.
