There is absolutely no way a retail worker is making $12/hour.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see how many CEO salaries they co-mingled and added into this category.
And $10 for a cashier?
Who writes these fairy tales?
I make $7.75 an hour as a cashier with family dollar part time. I wish I could get paid $10.00 an hour as a cashier.
