I finally received a job offer after months of searching, but it's only $10.50 an hour at Wendy's. This feels so disheartening, as it's the best offer I've gotten so far, and it's the only one that came through. The store manager asked about my fast food experience, and since I had none, I was at her mercy. I mentioned that I was used to making $14-$15 from my previous retail job, but she told me the pay here was $10.50. After three months of relentless job hunting, I feel like I have no choice but to accept it. I've applied everywhere in fast food and retail, and this was the only response I got. It's frustrating to think about how hard I had to work just to land this low-paying job. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if this is a glimpse into the struggles of 2008. It’s tough out here.
