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.
When I worked there last year, it was $4/hr starting pay if you were above 18, and $3.50 if you were under 18. That's not counting commission of course, which is 3%. So if you sell an average of $100/hour, you make $7/hr. 6 people found this useful.
