The manager of the Sugarloaf QuikTrip told me that he went from new hire
to store manager in 2 weeks. Apparently they're promoting rather rapidly.

And how many hours a week does this "Manager" put in doing
managerial type duties like ordering, billing, payroll - versus
standing behind the counter running the register that an hourly
employee would be doing?

There are a lot of companies who view making someone "management" a
cheap way to get an overtime-exempt slave, where they can saddle you
with 80+ hour weeks as a 'salaried' or 'exempt' employee, including
covering every shift where an employee calls in sick or just doesn't
bother to show up... Beware.

California has busted companies for doing this, but when you have
lawyers on retainer there's always another loophole out there...
