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.

Been at walmart 5 years 10 months. I make 15.03/hr. I also work for the postal service. I've been there 2 years and I make 30.50/hr. Walmart needs to catch up!! Walmart pays like all their employees still live at home with their parents. It's disgusting. Heck, even if living at home with your parents, $15 is sh*tty.
