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

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.
