Question about salary negotiation for a promotion

My boss offered me a lead cook spot last month. Said we'd talk pay after a trial week. That week turned into three. Finally sat down yesterday, and the raise was only fifty cents more an hour. I had a whole list of my extra duties ready, like managing the weekend prep list and training two new hires. Took me almost a month just to get that lowball number. How do you push back without sounding like you're just complaining?

Only fifty cents?! After all that extra work you listed...

Yeah, sage_lewis10 gets it. That's the whole joke. You do a bunch of extra steps, jump through all their hoops, and the reward is basically a gum ball. It's not even about the money at that point, it's about the principle. They make you work for a prize so small it feels like an insult. Makes you wonder why they even bothered to add the extra step in the first place.

That "gum ball" reward after all their hoops is just a slap in the face.
