Eh, I work in the service sector and when everyone was bumped to 9/hr I got bumped to 10. It wasn't a 1 to 1 bump but only like 2 people complained. Not sure how financially viable this is for other companies, but we're a median sized grocery chain. At any rate isn't it a little weird that it feels so bad that other people start at a higher rate than I did? Kinda like how some people have rich parents and others don't... Maybe there's a comparison here. Course if prices adjust this is null, but I don't think small min. wage bumps will cause prices to adjust.

Yes, I don't know why really. I actually started at like 8
