Thread: What's the standard salary for graveyard shift at a convenience store?

I might work from 3:30 AM to 11:30 AM at a local convenience store opening up and all that jazz. What type of salary should I expect/ask for? I have an "interview" this coming week; if they ask me what I think a fair wage would be, what should I say? I wouldn't do it for less than 10 dollars an hour, but I can't imagine the would pay me more than 12 dollars an hour (though I searched online and some stuff said 13-14 dollars?). Any ideas? As of now I will tell them that I think 10-12 dollars an hour would be fair.

I think that's so unfair the way employers ask what you expect to be paid. Cheap bastards are just looking for some dumb shmuck who will let themselves get taken advantage of.

They should just come out and say this is what we pay.

Wrong. If you don't have your own rate, your own appraisal of your skills and what you have to offer your employer (in monetary terms), then that only shows your lack of confidence and coherence when it comes to acquiring a job.

When naming what you expect to be paid, you aren't supposed to guess what a typical wage for that position is. You're supposed to name a price for your services, whatever they may be.

You failed to mention where you are being hired.
Minimum wage in Arkansas is 5.25.
Minimum wage in California is 7.00.

Minimum wage in Ontario, Canada is $9.50.

(Roughly $8.10 USD)

EDIT: Fun fact. 1 Canadian Dollar = 31,936,817 Zimbabwe Dollar

Sweet.

Vermont. Minimum wage = $8.06. I want to say 12 dollars, but I'm afraid that's too much. I won't do it for less than 10 though.
