So the day I interviewed for this job, I was told everything I needed to know about my perceived value to my future manager with a single question.

I had requested 24 dollars an hour, which was still less than a living wage in this city, but I knew it was the upper threshold for their starting wages in this role, and I had a LOT of work experience. Most recently, I had been a manager at a grocery store, where I'd been promoted in my first month there. The interview had been going well, and then the Big Guy asked me the following:

"I see here you're asking for $24 an hour; is that what you were making at the uhhhh grocery store?"

Write that down in your copybooks now, and when I have another moment today, we'll continue the lesson. Get excited, because a crime has occurred!
