P.S. I also know a supermarket manager who earns over £120,000 a year by the time he's had all his bonuses, and it's not one of the most massive stores either! So they can be a good career choice if you are that way minded.

Friend of a friend of a friend who boasted about their salary while down the pub?

I knew a manager at a very large flagship store whose basic was 70k, he wouldn't tell anybody what his bonus was like though.

I read the OP and thought, this sounds vaguely familiar, then I realise this thread's been dug up from a year ago!

Bonus would have been upto 70% of salary depending on his store Hitting kpi's and his own personal targets ... So store managers can earn a massive bonus in well performing stores...

I remember when I was at university I got a job working for Sainsbury's, they put me on the checkout. Eventually I realised that uni wasn't all it was made out to be; 2 hours of lectures a day and nobody cared if you turned up or not anyway. So I thought I could do with the money and so took on extra shifts at work. It was brilliant, I went from being on a 15 hour a week contract to being almost full time by swapping 4 hour shifts for 8 hours shifts and taking on any unfilled shifts that they needed.

Then I realised that if I worked over 40 hours in a week that I'd get paid at a higher rate -which they'd obviously try to restrict but you could get around that by lying to the manager; "no, my name just wasn't crossed off the list, I didn't work that shift in the end I swapped it with xyz". Good times.
