Reply to comment by Quicklyquigly in Pennsylvania not among states raising their minimum wages in 2023 by gvillepa

I remember when I got my first Job at 15 at a brand new Wegman's coming to the area. It was RIGHT before the minimum wage went up from $6.25 to $7.15... in 2007. When it happened, I was really excited!

Because I was 15...

The real kicker is that Wegman's was supposed to be like a "luxury" grocery store. I left Wegman's for Walmart 8 months later and got a $2.50 an hour increase at Walmart for the same cashier role.

You know it's funny I used to think that Giant Eagle was cheaper until I started going to Wegmans...I wish I would have gone there sooner.

Giant Eagle around here *IN ERIE* is more expensive than I used to pay when I lived in NYC.
