I started on £4.47 I think then got a payrise to £4.51- I was 16.
Then it jumped up to about £5.80 and by the time I finished (at 18) I was on £5.97.

I work in a Boots pharmacy and get £6.93, but I'm 18 which pushes my pay up a bit. Also on bank holidays/sundays we get triple pay, which is ridiculous. Also we're only open for like 1 or 2 bank holidays a year, and never Sundays. We did work out that we were getting a pound roughly every 3 minutes, which was awesome because there were basically no customers.

And I got my job because my Mum saw it advertised in the window and picked me up an application form and I beat out the zillion other people that applied for it. But that was before it became Boots so I don't know how helpful that is... :P
