How do I go about asking for a raise?

[dsturbd 10+ year member]

Alright, I work at Wendy's I started 7 months ago, making $7.50, I have got employee of the month and everyone likes me their, the General Manager really likes me says I am a hardworker, I have heard from several friends/employees that she talks about me often and how much she enjoys me being here and I am one of her favorites etc.

So I was talking to my friend who worked their tonight and he overheard some of the new people talking about pay, they said they were getting $8 and some of these people, are very dumb one girl didn't even know what a extension cord was and how to use it when she was cleaning the lobby, so the first few nights she only cleaned half of it, another girl is really fat in the way and wore a hairnet over her upper face (eyes) didn't even know how to put it on, she wore it for over one hour till someone told her she had it on incorrect, and to think these people are getting paid $8 really makes me sick, I have had two other friends ask for raises, either writting letter or just talking to them, both successful and are now making $8.50, when they were making $7.75 previously.

So my question is, how can I go about asking for a raise, what should I say, I have a good idea on how to approach her, and I am 90% sure I will get it, but I wanted to know your thoughts, thanks.

If you have friends that have asked...Ask them what they said?

Seems logical to me.

Tell'em you got an offer as manager at Mickey D's makin 9.75, but you'd like to stay at Wendy's cause you're very loyalIf they don't give it to you place a severed fanger in the chilly

Or they tell him to go scratch his *** and go work at McDonalds for $9.75/hour.

ask him/her how often raises come around each year, and then ask if you'd get one or not

Just ask to be rewarded for your hard work, because in all honesty your not suppose to no what your co-workers make

With such a low level of literary skills, you're lucky to be making that much. How did you even get through the application writing like that? Do they use computerized, picture-based applications or something? I mean I know you're not in an intellectually intensive position, but I would at least expect someone to have passed fourth grade if he wanted me to hire him.
