It's been a long time since I worked an entry level job, but back then (the mid to late 90s when, in my area at least, there were lots of jobs in my area making double minimum wage) there wasn't a lot of negotiating. If you went to work at Wal-Mart, a grocery, fast food place, waitress, etc., you were making the base.
Oh I wasn't speaking about those jobs. I was speaking about the upper tier Union jobs held by SEIU and others... Who can trigger a salary bump if fed min wage changes. I always thought this was the reason that wage didn't rise a whole lot over the years.
