If they don't want to give benefits to stocker and cashiers they should have part time hours and paid $17.50 per hour no benefits. Also how many teenagers would like a parttime job from 3 pm until 7pm and maybe get the pay they give their cashiers $8 -9 an hour.
A Sam's Club employee starts at $10 and makes $12.50 after four and a half years. A new Costco employee, at $11 an hour, doesn't start out much better, but after four and a half years she makes $19.50 an hour. In addition to this, she receives something called an extra checkâa bonus of more than $2,000 every six months. A cashier at Costco, after five years, makes about $40,000 a year.
