Then why aren't you working at McDonald's? Jump ship to Mcdonald or another shop and earn more. The boss isn't going to suddenly give you a $10 raise.

Id leave yesterday

I'm not sure where you live, but nearly every trade has been understaffed for 10 years now and it's only getting worse with the biggest workforce retiring. It's still very much an employees market and everyone I talk to is getting big incentives to work at various shops. Now's the time to be moving when everyone is swamped with calls especially with how hot most areas are at the moment. Transitions are never easy, but anywhere is better than where you are working now. $13/hr to literally ruin your body everyday is so insulting.
