    It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.

      Aldi announced that it it looking to hire thousands of new workers, as well as increasing their minimum wage to $18 and $23 an hour.

      My read on this, is that they are discussing the minimum for two separate positions. Potentially cashier and team leader. Would make sense as they don’t have many employees on shift at a time.

      I hope so. It would be a nice change compared to… Well… Everything.

      Edit: ahhhh see it now. I read it as “up to” alone, but implied “increased to” instead.

      English is hard sometimes.

        It really is. The fact “up to” can mean either a maximum value, or an increase to a value, is stupid.

          Sale, up to 90% off!

          Where the 90% off is the triple clearance table that’s been inventory they genuinely can’t get rid of, while everything else is 10-15% off
