Due for a raise soon, what should be me accept/quit number?

I'm started my job making $17/hr and a couple months ago they gave a whopping 3% 'CoL' raise. I am respected for doing my job well. I'm coming up on my yearly review which should include a raise what should my minimum be? Inflation is what, 8%(and rising)? So if they offer me a raise to $19 that would about make up for inflation but not be an actual raise? So I should demand at least $20/hr? ​ What do you think of my plan? They offer no raise, blaming higher costs or some BS, and I quit on the spot. I expect them to offer me a raise to $18, at which point I will attempt to argue that's not enough. They will most likely not care and I will put in my 2 weeks. Hoping they change their minds before it's up. They actually offer me something reasonable…

What do you think of my plan?

  1. They offer no raise, blaming higher costs or some BS, and I quit on the spot.
  2. I expect them to offer me a raise to $18, at which point I will attempt to argue that's not enough. They will most likely not care and I will put in my 2 weeks. Hoping they change their minds before it's up.
  3. They actually offer me something reasonable bumping me up to $19.50-$20hr.

I got a good amount saved up so I can survive for some time without a job.
