Convenience store chain offers $500 signing bonus as labor shortage intensifies

By Around the Web

(ZEROHEDGE) – Baltimore-based Royal Farms, a privately owned chain of more than 200 convenience stores throughout Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia, is ramping up part-time and full-time employment by offering signing bonuses to new employees.

“A $500 sign-on bonus at select locations is being offered to new employees. A $300 referral bonus for any active employee is also being offered internally. If an employee is fully vaccinated, they will also receive a $50 COVID-19 Wellness bonus,” a recent Royal Farms press release read.

The purpose of signing a bonus appears to entice low-level applicants to work for the convenience store. Think of it as an extra incentive for the prospect to accept the job.
