That low?

My very first job (age 15, 3rd year in CA) was as a box boy at an
Alpha Beta grocery store for $1.95/hr. (That was my first and last
Union job, BTW. Non-union pay was $1.65/hr and my net pay after Union
fees came to $1.69/hr.) That was in 1968 and cashiers were starting at
$8.65/hr even then. Can HD's pay rate nearly 40 years later be that
much lower? I thought that being able to use a cash register and/or
having any 10-key experience almost doubled the minimum wage pay for
those jobs.

Anyone have data on cashier pay rate trends?
