I recently received an interview for a job as a Universal Banker at a bank housed within a supermarket. The minimum pay at the bank is $22/hour. Does working in a grocery store, where wages are generally substantially lower, have an impact on this? I am aware that Starbucks workers who work in grocery shops are frequently compensated as workers of the grocery store, not Starbucks. If this is the same, may I ask? Tell me if you have any experience with this, please.
Your pay should be based on the bank’s pay scale for Universal Bankers, not the supermarket’s wages

Hi Brigitta… Great question! Working as a Universal Banker in a bank located within a grocery store typically means your compensation is based on the bank’s pay scale rather than the grocery store’s. The $22/hour wage should reflect the bank’s standard, not the grocery store’s, since you’re technically employed by the bank. However, it’s always good to clarify this during your interview. Ask specifically about the compensation structure and if any differences in pay might exist due to the store’s location. This will ensure you understand how your wages are determined and if there are any unique aspects to working in that setting.

I had a similar situation where I worked at a bank located inside a grocery store. The pay was indeed different from standard grocery store wages. In my case, the bank paid according to its own pay scale, which was higher than what the grocery store typically offered. It seems like the wage for bank employees is usually aligned with banking standards rather than grocery store wages. So, if the job listing states $22/hour, that should be the pay you receive, not the lower grocery store rate. It’s always a good idea to confirm this with the employer to ensure clarity on your pay rate and how it might be affected by the store’s location.
