One of my friends in HS started working part-time at Safeway as soon as it was legal to do so. He passed the checker test and became a full-time employee with > 1.5 yrs experience pretty much the day he graduated, and got bumped up to $12-14/hr. That's like $26-27K, and this was in 1985...I don't think Safeway is at the top of the pay scale.

Actually most supermarkets have unions and make good $$$.

Not in Texas they don't. I made $6/hr. Everybody did.

Are you talking East Bumfuck where your folks live, or Houston?

Even in scenic Pullberg, checking was a nice, union job. I assume this explains the one lady i dealt with who didn't understand hte concept of pyrex and was very careful with my nice "glass" bowl.
