Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Our local McDonalds pays $11.00 an hour with no experience. I make $10 an hour and have been with Panera for 2 years. I don't want to "start over" being the new person, learning a new job so I keep this one, but they really should get up off some money and pay the employees more fairly.
