My job recently started offering bonuses, re-announced raises, and is experimenting with certain shifts giving people more hourly pay than others to entice them into expanding availability. We're still so understaffed some days that full timers have to come in on days off for coverage as we don't have enough people to be a cashier (reasonably, who would want a job as a cashier during a pandemic?).
It's hard though. You CANNOT make a living on minimum wage (or the above minimum we pay) without doing multiple jobs. The ideal worker is someone in school, retired, or a stay at home parent who comes in during school hours. 'Ideal' meaning those people generally are in it for extra income, not necessary income.
