I'm looking for a way to approach my boss about this in a way that doesn't lose me shifts cause I'm casual, any and all advice is appreciated because this has been eating at me and I work tomorrow when I plan to talk to him.

I honestly wouldn't have taken the job at the time if I knew I was only making that little, but now that money's more important I can't lose this job right now.
