<human>: So let me start off by saying that I have been with the company I'm working for, for about 8 years. I started there at 17 and have been working there while finishing college(yes I know I'm almost 25 but I took a year or two off to work). I love this job, though stressful at times, and the people I work with! I have a great set of bosses and even though it's part time, minimum wage, I've turned down other jobs because I really do love this place.

Now to the advice part. With the new year came a mandatory increase from the state to up minimum wage. With this increase I soon learned that other employees, whom I work in the same department with, got raises on top of that. The part I'm struggling with is out of everyone I have been there the longest, work the most hours, and I'm typically the guy they call on when they need help. The two employees (that I know of at the moment) that got raises have been there for maybe 2 years. One of them is still unsure of how to do his job, so when I work with him I typically pull double duty. The other is scheduled 5 days a week and of those days only works 2 to 3 of them and works no weekends. So I'm stuck wondering why I was passed up for a raise and I'm contemplating going to my boss and asking for one, something I have brought up in the past. So here's where I need help: A. How do I ask for this raise? B. What should I do if she tells me no? C. Why was I passed up?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
