Tell them you need what you need. But since they already know what you make I wouldn't be too shocked if they told you the $15 is the highest they'll go. You should never had told them.. Not to mention most know that's 99% of the time an inflated number If I made $15/hr and I had to tell them I would easily say I was making $16-$17 or so. so if you told them you'r only making $12.50 they probably already assume you're really making around $10-$11. Never talk money until they make you an rock solid offer. You just give them all the cards to play with.
