I get 9 dollars an hour starting out. I was getting 10 at my last job :/. And my area most likely has a lower cost of living. A supermarket isn't going to make you rich. But if you enjoy it then who cares, I suppose.
I actually do enjoy being a full-time Service Desk Clerk. It's odd...Everyone's like "Woah...do you like...get yelled at all the time?"
Actually, no. I don't get yell at a lot. If you're pleasant to the customer chances are, even if they start in a bad mood, they'll leave in a better mood. Only thing I don't like is their tendancy to put me on a lane still, even though they technically should be sending part-time people before me.
I had an asshole come in today and was all "I make $107 an hour! You guys are wasting my time!" All because I wanted to help train the new guy in how to process a check. :<
Not necessarily so. Some areas are better than others. I remember having trouble finding a job back in Illinois, but that was because of my previous employer who shall not be named.
