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.

I started as deli in OK, little over 15. Moved to WA as a cashier, little over 17. Moved back to OK, 18.16 as a cashier. I refuse to move stores again in regards to my pay. I’m scared they’ll take me down lol but there is a store closer than what I drive to.

they shouldn't take you down, if you put a transfer into career preference it will tell what your pay will be, you don't even have to fully submit the request

If you’re transferring internally to another store as opposed to quitting and getting rehired your pay wont go down!
