It varies from store to store depending on your location. For my store, the "starting wage" (which doesn't exist anymore: you get the same amount of pay however long you've been there, but it increases after a pay review every July) for over 18s is £6.20
tesco pay well and have good promotion prospects if your not a ****** and your willing to commit. my friend is 19 and is about to accept a 24k package at a metro store.
I get £6.95 an hour. It was £6.70 until very recently but we just had the pay review which meant an increase of 3.8%. Tesco is the UK supermarket which pays its employees the most and probably very competitive in retail generally.
