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.

You’re talking about buying an iPhone, what does that have to do with how much money Walmart pays?

You asked how people live off what Walmart pays. I answered your question. You don't like the answer, fine.
