Here in Delta, it depends on volume for department heads but average store:
Clerks/Cashiers: $7.25-14.06 | Old contract(< 1985) ~$15.65
Produce/DrugGM/Front End/Grocery managers all make the same wage at ~ $18.00
Leads(Frozen/Dairy/Floral/File Clerk/Fuel Center) are around $15.31
Meat: ~$20
Deli/Bakery: ~$16
Yeah, grocery managers are salaried here, which sucks, because I would really want that job otherwise.
Calculated out hourly, they probably only make like 16 an hour, if that. I'm an assistant grocery manager, and I get 14.30. If I were to work the same amount of hours as my grocery manager, I'd be making the same amount of money.
Our leads only get a .50 premium (max 13.80) . ****in Frys, I swear. We are in the most competitive market in the us, and they pay us the worst.
Front end cashiers start at $11.63 and go up to $17.21/hr.
Grocery clerks start out around the same and max out at around $19/hr.
Those are the two best-paid positions. I think other departments start at around $10/hr, but I'm not too sure. Most of the people who have topped out in pay are fairly satisfied with what they make, or so it seems.
As a cashier in local 400 (southern WV) after five years of service I make..... $8.10/h, yep.

OMG that's terrible! At 5 years I will top out at $11.20 an hour. Were you a cashier all this time?
In the system, yes.
Actually working, however, though I've done many things over the years. Grocery, Bagging, Night stock, Replenish, Drug/GM, Dairy, Floor Supervisor, Meat shop, DSD. I've made out orders, sat in on sales meetings, and dealt with ******* customers. Anything your Manager, dept head, or Union steward can do or tell you... I can probably do it, too.
All for $8 an hour. What a deal, huh.

Also in ATL, I suggest everybody look at our local 1996 contract and FEAR it. That's your future. Virtually no incentives. Essentially no premiums. Minimal starting pay allowed by law. Microscopic nickel raises. No spousal health care. What's not to love?
Full time dept backup, make less than $8/hr. Still too few years under me to get a bid for dept head without someone swooping in and grieving it.

Is there a place to view that contract or could you post some of the wage information? That's ridiculous.

Backup less than $8/hour? I gotta see it to believe it because in my store no backups are making less than $10/hr.
Hey everyone. I'm just curious, how much money do you guys make where you're at?
Apc's make 7.90-13.30 (old contract guys are something like 16.75)
Add a dollar to the top pay for being an assistant department head
Grocery managers make 50,882 starting. Its exempt salary, my old grocery manager would regularly work 60+ hours.
Produce managers 18.16 ish
Meat 21.75
Gm 1650
Bakery something like 17
Frys division (660)
dear god, I would cut the brake line of someone if it meant I could move into their job at $17 an hour. I make a meager $7.25 an hour and according to the online records, helpfully translated by posters to this forum, I have to bag for another TWO YEARS before I make a 15-cent raise -- and then I cap out at that.
Kroger actually paying a living wage? Not to the lowly courtesy clerks they don't. I'm lucky to pull $120 per check per week.

Frys is located Arizona and I suspect you'd find that the money would not take you as far as you think. Plus minimum wage their is like 7.90. You wouldn't see much more money if you were still CC'ing. I'd bet starting clerk wages aint that good either. Probably looking at a very slow schedule of raises. Yeah you could make that scratch, but reality is most people won't stay that long.
People in the midwest/midsouth see the higher wages out west and think great, but the reality is taxes are higher, rent is higher, and everything else costs more. Rural areas are cheaper, but jobs are very scarce in those areas.
I made $137 on this check.
A whole $137.
It's nice to make money...but I'm going to need at least 1/3 of that for groceries.
Which is what happens on most of my checks.
