I worked retail jobs a long time ago. Not sure what the hourly rate is anymore, but I know the department managers and store manager get monthly bonuses for meeting sales quotas. Usually a percentage of the total sales.
So, for example, Sports Authority would have a $100k monthly sales goal, and the GM would get something like $5k for hitting it, and more for each 10k increment over.
Funny thing about 20 years ago, some of the big box retail chains had unrealistically low quotas based on national sales averages or a lack of understanding of the unique nature of this area, so it was a cake walk for the managers to exceed their quotas around here. I'm sure that's changed by now.
