What would DFWM do?

It doesn't matter if you're happy with your pay prior to knowing someone you think produces less than u you makes more. It is a matter of knowing the company values that person more AND is willing to pay more (or at least confirms you as undervalued).

I'd seriously have a heart to heart and shoot straight with a WTF to the powers that be.

The first thing they will ask is why you are discussing pay with your co-workers. Its a slippery slop from there.

Some places is termination.

Tell them you've been studying, are now bilingual, and every time a customer asks if you "speaky spanish", you tell them "Chinga tu madre!"
Technically, you weren't lying.

Word. Just keep in good standing, keep collecting the checks, and look for something else. Isn't worth the risk, in my opinion. Not to mention, I'd be throwing all my friends under the bus as well.

I've known a couple places like that. Said they'd fire us if we discussed wages. Teenage years.

When you were a company man @ 12 years old?

[Gasser64]

I would rather quit then ask for more money. Hell they may just let you go when you ask for more money.

Of course. Can't you read??

Time to piss you off even more, I made 15$ an hour as an assistant manager with 50hrs each week, overtime was nice. I was paid more then people who have worked there for 15 years, I was also way better at my job then them. If this person came from autozone and you are just matching pay then that's your fault for accepting the shitty pay that oreillys offers the employees that work there. Most of the time the bilinguals will get paid .50 more also.

Needless to say, I've been promoted since and make almost 10k more a year now.

Return it with a question as to how they come up with their compensation... as you slam a recording device on the table.

Not really. But the competitors pay shit, most of the time 10-11/hr for manager positions.

McDonald's pays more then that.

She came from Whataburger. Worked there for like 10 years or some shit.

It's still "than."

That's pretty shitty, I bet she's a blast to look at too.

Then then then then

You just answered your own question. They are likely getting a higher pay grade simply for being bilingual. And you should never discuss pay with your coworkers. Your reaction is the reason why it has always been an office taboo.
