Salary Transparency

No salary secrets at Buc-ee’s, which posts in-store signs listing employee salary ranges.

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – At a time when low-wage workers are increasing the call for higher wages, a sentiment echoed in cities and states nationwide that are passing legislation for minimum wage increases, one convenience retailer is being particularly clear about the wages it pays their workers.

Texas-based Buc-ee’s, which opened the world’s largest convenience store back in 2012, makes no secret about what they pay their employees: a base minimum wage almost double the current federal minimum wage. They advertise this fact in signs placed throughout their stores, such as one accompanying an article in the Gazette Review showing hourly wages of $12-$14 for cashiers and gift associates, and slightly higher wages of $13-15 for foodservice and maintenance employees.

Touting its customer service – with a particular emphasis on its reputation for the cleanest restrooms around – Buc-ee’s is always eager to employ more high-quality team members and publicly emphasizing the company’s commitment to fair wages is a unique approach.
