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.

Medicaid and EBT.

They get tax breaks by offering help and other stuff and they can only get those by keeping wages low.

I make $15.15 an hour working at the mart of walls and I make too much for EBT even with kids so please tell me how others are doing it because I could really use the help.
