My daughter works at a popular apparrel store at the mall.  She will be there a year in July.  It is not a very well run store.  Nobody stays very long including managers and assistant managers.  No one my daughter started with works there anymore.  She has found out the only managers and assistant managers receive raises.  I'm wondering is this the norm?  If you have teenagers who work, do they receive a yearly raise?

I'm not surprised at this. Most stores are owned by chains, thus big corporations. Big corporations rarely give raises to the little people. Working for a big corporation is a hard lesson these days and is one everyone should understand.  

I worked in customer service for a chain of grocery stores for a few years after retiring. They paid several dollars less per hour than even fast food and wondered by people kept leaving.
