Probably $5/hour at GNC, but I got to keep all of the EAS creatine that was past the exp date.

$3.35 at DH Holmes in Bon Marche. I can remember being really fired up when I got my first raise...all the way up to $3.75.

$3.35/hour restarting Amax nickle plant in Braithewaite LA. Fun times-learned a lot about life as a plant rookie!

I think it was either $7.60 or $7.90 working at Little Caesars back as a Sophomore in high school.
ETA: Washington has the highest minimum wage in the country, so that's why mine seems so high. I remember learning that and it blew my mind that some states had a minimum wage in the $5/hour range.
