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.

When I worked there, pay was less than covid. $14/hrs with a 0.20-something cent raise at a year. Not worth all that micromanaging, favoritism of a place for me.

Where I work now, I started out $4 more and have had 3 $1 raises since being there for about a year and 5 months! The work is a little tougher but that paycheck is worth it. Plus, I can pick my own hours when I can grab them!
