That’s just being read wrong, it’s not written like a “save up to $10” kind of line. The “up” just describes the change (i.e. ‘the starting wage is going up; becoming $X’). Within the article, it’s completely unambiguous:
The national average starting wages for Aldi workers will be set at $18 an hour and $23 an hour for warehouse workers.

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

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.

Ah that could be. Either way, $23 isn’t the max

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

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

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

Minimum does not mean “up to”.
