Ontario's general minimum wage is $17.60/hour as of October 2025. Most Toronto cashier roles start at minimum wage. Unionized grocery chains (Sobeys, Loblaws) often have small experience-based step increases written into the collective agreement. Big-box stores like Canadian Tire and Costco generally start above minimum wage, typically $18–$20/hour for cashier roles. Overnight or 5am stocking shifts at some grocery stores carry a small shift premium.
How to apply
Apply through the Indeed link for chains, Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Canadian Tire all route applications through their HR systems and rarely accept paper resumes in store. For independents (Rudy Resto), a walk-in with a printed resume during off-peak hours often beats an online application. If you're also open to retail floor work, see our sales associate openings in Toronto for more options. Canuck Hire also lists retail openings across the GTA, check our part-time jobs guide for application strategy. If you prefer owner-led retailers over national chains, see our independent businesses hiring in Toronto list.
