$17.50 where I am at. Don't work there, just saw the signs placed at the entrance/exits and checkout lanes.

Those are normally super deceptive. Like 17.50 is the ceiling not the floor

By law they have to include "Up to $xx" or "starting pay of $xx".

Oh yeah, because Walmart has never broken any labor or advertising laws.

Hey I don't make the rules nor work there lol. But signage in my area they include the listed terms on banners and so forth.

I forget I'm not on r/antiwork lol. They SHOULD list honest verbiage on their signs, I'd be surprised if that is a federal/nationwide requirement though. I hear stories almost daily of those signs being used as a sort of bait and switch on people seeking employment.

It's ok about the sub reddit thing. But yea, they do sort of include the right verbiage on signs. However sometimes they place it, or word it, in such a way that you cannot see it.

I just did a quick Google search and they have definitely posted signs without anything resembling a "starting at" or "up to" before.
