TJ Maxx job applicant really wants to to work at the store - until he learns the awful truth about the role: 'I'm not taking it'

A man who wanted to work at T.J. Maxx has revealed his shock at finding out the salary he would be paid for the role.

The man, who was interviewed for the position at what is believed to be a store in Pennsylvania on April 11, couldn't believe the position came with a salary of just $12 an hour, which was paid weekly.

'Everything went well well but the end he told me that they pay $12 an hour and they get paid every week,' he said on a TikTok under the username, '@sobeatmyass'.

'So I was like "yeah... I'm not taking that f****** job'. 

The TikToker known as @sobeatmya** has slowly gone viral after he questioned his job interview with T.J. Maxx in a video he posted on April 11

There are currently more than $1,000 T.J. Maxx stores across the US and Canada. As of this year, states like Nevada and Nebraska currently have a $12 minimum wage

There are more than 1,000 T.J. Maxx stores across the US and Canada. The store's pay rate ranges from $9.50 per hour for sales representative to $23.19 per hour for an assistant store manager.

The basic minimum wage where the TikTok user l@sobeatmya** possibly lives in Pennsylvania, which according to the US Department of Labor, has a basic minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.

However, despite his disappointment, he ended up taking the job, causing much debate among his followers on TikTok.  

'Do you have a job already? If not, take the job until you find something else. Some money better than no job,'' a TikToker commented.

Others have commented that hourly pay is good but one user suggested that @sobeatmya** accept the hourly wage amount.

'They about to have you assembling all the furniture,' the TikToker concluded with a laughing emoji.

Social media users have been giving the TikTok advice on what to do and a few individuals have criticized him expecting a better hourly wage

They added: 'But for real, if you don't have a different job then take the $12 and keep looking until you find better.' 

The confused TikToker has since asked the video viewers what they think he should do since he has no idea how to handle the situation.

As of now, it appears that he has not responded to any of the comments that were made on the video by other TikTok users.

The commenters made suggestions about what he should do while others brought up the pay and how they were surprised that he was expecting a higher hourly wage.
