I don't support it because of the types we have as our current cart attendants.
We had a couple of stand-outs but they've been snapped up by the salesfloor so we're stuck with the low-performers who have 2 speeds: slow & slower.
And, yeh, I've worked carts.

If I had to reorganize pay grades on the front end it would look like this:
Cashier/guest service: base
Photo/cart attendant: +.25
Photo lab asst: +.75
GSA: +1.00
Not really a stretch since gstls still make a couple bucks more. Anyone who has worked GSA would agree with me (I hope) considering every other n07 position has it easy compared to a GSA as far as responsibilities
Yeh, especially from degreaser. Go figure....Food Ave/Market clothes tend to get really nasty and stained from grease and cleaners.

I would support a general pay increase.... but to just say cart attendants specifically is a little absurd.
Let's just be honest, the absolute bottom performers at a store are often the cart attendants. Half the time they refuse (or half ass) their basic duties such as restroom checks.
Obviously there are some great cart attendants out there.... but they are the exception.
You also have to remember that pay is based on knowledge, skills, and experience. Cart attendants almost always have no work experience (first job), are in high school or never graduated high school, and don't have any skills. (IT skills, plumbing skills, etc) I mean, this is really the job that defines minimum wage. Minimum wage is designed for people who are in very low level jobs. Cart attendant is not designed to be a job to support ones self or family.... It is supposed to be a "first job" that you work your way up from to positions such as GSA and GSTL.
Anyone who is a cart attendant that shows potential is usually moved up to a better job in the store. If they are not moved up, then they probably are not a very good performer....
