WAGES ARE LOW AT MOST DOLLAR STORES
According to Glassdoor, the average cashier makes $8 an hour or less than $20,000 a year. Store managers and assistant managers make between $43,000 and $45,000 a year, while district managers get up to $70,000. If you’re stocking shelves, it’s $8 to $9 an hour. Dollar General wages fall along the same lines. An owner-operator doesn’t have it much better, making little more than $52,000 a year.
