A young man has revealed how much he earns working part-time at Coles

A young Aussie has revealed the “pretty good” amount he earns while working part-time and studying.

A young man has left Aussies stunned after revealing his hourly rate working at Coles.

Getahead, a job-matching app that works like Tinder but for jobs, has a popular series on TikTok in which it stops and asks people what they do for a living and how much they earn.

It has become a huge conversation starter from Aussies being stunned to learn a man running a window tinting business is turning over millions a year to being saddened to hear that some nurses are paid less than $40 an hour.

Learning the salaries of everyday Aussies has become pretty eye-opening, and once again, people were stunned to discover how much a young guy was earning working part-time.

The Brisbane local was stopped in the street and explained that he worked part-time at Coles while studying.

He said he basically just stocked shelves at the supermarket chain and earns around “$40 an hour.”

He did add that he works typically from 8pm until 11pm, so it is “night-time rates,” but it is certainly nothing to sniff at.

“The pay is pretty good for the lack of skill you need and it is also mindless,” he pointed out.

“You go in and listen to music and just put some coke on the shelves, and you’re good, bro.”

As per usual, Aussies were surprised to learn that someone could earn $40 an hour working at Coles.

Someone was in such disbelief that they commented and said, “No way,” but another said they were only 20 and earning $32 an hour as a base rate as a supermarket, so it sounded believable to them.

Meanwhile a tradie shared that he “earns less” than the shelf stacker.

Someone else said it isn’t an “insane amount of money” because working the night shift disrupts the rest of your life.

Another admitted he was earning more than her working at Coles, and she works 10-hour days with “no sitting down and constant customer interaction.”

One person claimed that the hourly rate was too much and said, “thanks to unions, this is the very reason why the country is stuffed”.

Someone else said his hourly rate was “wicked” another called it “dope” and another shared they were a night fill manager and earning $90,000.

The Brisbane man’s candid admission shouldn’t be a surprise because young people are far more transparent when it comes to talking about money.

Financial expert at Finder Rebecca Pike said that “salary sharing” has become a trend among Gen Z.

“This openness about their earnings is a stark contrast to previous generations who often viewed discussing salaries as taboo,” she told news.com.au.

“Gen Zers are comfortable sharing their experiences and advocating for fair compensation having grown up in a more progressive era.”

Ms Pike added that social media has “normalised discussions about personal finances including salaries”.
