    Thank you, I was really impressed with the wage, not what you expect for a self-stacking job do you tend to work on a particular department? What kind of Tesco is it like Express, Metro...?
    That post didnt really answer your question though. minimum wage for people aged 16-17 is 3.68 ph im afraid.

    Holy cow! I'm guessing the figure you gave includes the nightshift premium? If not, you're getting paid quite well, and I am jealous lol. I've been working there 4.5 years and yes, I do live in London, so my pay includes the location-based premium to reflect the higher living costs.

    You live in London?!

    I work in Sainsburys too but I'm on £7.22 p/h (not much difference, I know) but I'm not in London! I was under the impression that stores in London would get the highest location allowance...
