Why wouldn't the guy at Blockbuster tell me how much they pay?

There was a help wanted sign out front and I was asking for my sister, who wants to earn more than the 8 bucks (Australian) she makes as a sandwich artise at Subway, but the manager wouldn't tell me what salary would be. I'm guessing from that that the answer is "not much," but even so I can't understand the logic behind not revealing the salary of a job a company is offering.

Anyone care to fill me in?
