I went into the store earlier in the week for an application and the manager enthusiastically gave me one. She even said she was considering asking me if I was looking for a job when I was shopping there. I turned in my application to a manager. He asked me if I was available in an hour to interview with him. I waited around the mall until my interview and I was interviewed with another person. A day after, he called me offering me the job and talked to me about the pay rate ($7.25 -- minimum wage at the time was $6.25) and I asked if I could get a higher pay rate as I was paid $10 at my old retail job. He said there wasn't any negotiation with that, but once raises come up yearly, I could ask.
