Whats up guys, so tommarow I have to go to my summer job and lobby for a raise (or quit) one or the other. I want some advice on what to ask for/expect. I'm going to give you a chart and then want to know what you think.

The number you see are Column 1 The Year I worked. Column 2, what I made that year. Column 3 is what minimum wage was/is that year and the % is the amount I made over minimum wage.

2002 5.25 5.15 2%
2003 5.50 5.15 6.7%
2004 6.00 5.15 16.5%
2005 6.50 6.00 8.3%
2006 ? 6.75 ?

So my raises went +4.7% in 2003, +9.8% in 2004 (yr I became manager) but I took a -7.8% over minimum wage in 2005.

So my question is what should I be asking for when I go in tommarow?
