Actually, the most commonly promoted spelling is 'misspelt'. While I'm generally in favour of keeping the strong ending, here I don't like the resemblance to the grain spelt.
I mainly hyphenate because of the successive 's's, although I also like the little joke in that.
As you've pointed out:
- 'spelt' is a grain
- successive consonants, which are not hyphenated
Keep making the effort, and you'll get there in the end - 6.31/10
- 'spelt' is a grain

That's 'Ms Spelt' - you cereal joker, you!

I am sure the Bike Shop owner will interview and hopefully find the right and best person do carry out the job, to the extent that after a 3 month period there would be a pay review and the wage would increase. As an owner myself, I never start anyone on less than £13k and that includes two 16 year old apprentices I took on this year where I could have gone for Gov Min on Apprentices of around £2.35 per hour, a figure I would be ashamed to pay anyone. I suggest you ask shop workers what they earn, it will vary greatly from maybe £2.35 up to maybe £12 per hour, plus commision in common in sales companies. We pay we choose so shop wise and go where you feel comfortable with the owner, the service, the afrer sales the whole package. I value good service and it usually comes from best practice and paid retailers, I never go to halfords, and I avoid all companies that have off shore tax companies and there are many well known names. This is a bike blog so I hope someone applies for the job male female and they make a success of it. I don't think we should judge this prior to someone applying and doing the job first and maybe they can inform us on here how its going.

Sensible stuff then : I don't think we should judge this prior to someone applying and doing the job first and maybe they can inform us on here how its going.
The post wasn't judged on the level of pay, it was judged on the cuntishness with which it was put across.
If it had said 'In a tough market we need to keep our prices competitive and therefore our overheads low, so all we can initially offer is basic minimum wage, but work hard and prove yourself worth more and it could go up from there.'
Then I think the response would have been very different.

I admire your optimism. If this had been at all hinted at in the OP this would not have elicited the response that it did.

Thank you. I would have thought this was obvious from the posts that followed the OP, but gaggles is either particularly stupid or deliberately obtuse. I would have explained, but he went back to making lists.

I wonder if advertsing for a woman to work in the shop is illegal.

I mean, it's a bit like saying 'a lot of our customers are straight, and as eleven out of eleven of our employees are gay, we'd really like to redress that balance'.
Maybe they should have a look at why women or straight guys don't want to work there.
Oh, sorry, I may have invented one of those scenarios, you know, to make a point.
Will that not conflict with his roles with Caramel and Foffa? #moralhazard
