I actually filled up at a Shell station today. I try to go for the Top Tier Gas retailers, and usually achieve my goal of doing so. hehe

I remember when I was only making a dime/hour above the old minimum wage. This was a little over 10 years ago.
a dime? 10 years ago it was $4 something for me working at wendy's.

Back in November 1997, I started out at $5.25/hour. The minimum back then was $5.15/hr.

Right now, they've implemented a gradual increase in the minimum wage. Last July, they raised it to $5.85. On July 24, 2008, they will increase it to $6.55 per hour. Then, July of 2009 will be when it gets up to $7.25 per hour, as stated before.

Hope this information was helpful!
