I started out at $6.50 an hour at my old job. Six years later I was making $7.50 an hour. I feel your pain.
It sounds like raises are at least allowed at your job, even if your boss doesn't like giving them. At my old job, raises weren't allowed beyond $0.10 per year. Yes, 10 cents per year. I begged my boss for a raise multiple times and there was nothing she could do about it...the head of the place said no raises more than 10 cents so there ya go. I would have quit if I worked there more than 4 months of the year. I was a master of that job though and liked the people I worked with so it wasn't too bad.
