My first job, I worked at a big box retail store. The guys that worked there forever and full time were still on 100% commission. Us kids/part timers made like $8/hr and also meager amounts of commission that would total anywhere between $2/hr and $12/hr during the holidays and stuff. This was back in like the mid 2000s, so it paid very well for a no-skills job! These stores phased commission out shortly after my time.
When it was slow, and Id go on break, the old guys would usually tell me to just come back to close up and punch out. I was like 17, so giving up $2/hr was not a big deal, I had like no expenses in my life but gas. Old guys made a little more on the slow days. I walked around a mall.
It was great.
