I used to manage a pizza place and we paid minimum wage. When I started there I made $6 something/hour. Years later we were taking applications through an online portal and it claimed we offered competitive wages. Minimum wage was 7.25 by then and that's what we paid.
I asked my district supervisor how he could use that language. He told me it is competitive, everywhere else also pays minimum wage.
Best advice I ever got was to treat job interviews as 2-way. Ask them why the position in empty. Why did the last person that had your position leave?
Not to be outright combative, but the interview should be so both the company and you can get s feel for each other.
It's a competitive salary, because it is a salary and you have to compete with others to have it.
Hiring me has many benefits!

You get free coffee?
I work in an office, that's the bare minimum here.
