<prompt> Human: Ive been working as a fry cook part time for a popular fast food chain, 20 - 25 hours a week, for almost a year. It hasnt been hard work but it hasnt paid the best, only 8.50hr. Ive been taught the other stations in the kitchen as well. I figure that its about time for a raise but Im not exactly sure how to ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Edit: Im a student attending my local community college.  <response>: First off, dont tell them you need a raise. But do have a well writtenthought out list of things you have done to deserve a raise. Also, realize that you are working at a popular fast food chain and I would not expect raises to be very common. Decide before hand what your plan is if you dont receive it. My daughter worked at a certain arch themed chain for 3 years and only got raises when the minimum wage was raised.Above all, be professional.
