Most of the Napa stores are owned by people who own several stores, usually one guy owns all of the stores in an area. The owner sets the tone with the managers he hires and how much the manager is paid in comparison to how much the hired help is paid, which is usually set by the owner. My brother-in-law used to manage a Napa in Salina, Kansas and finally got fed up with working 70 hour weeks for only a few dollars more than his hired help. Even though he was able to show a vast increase in profits while he was manager, he couldn't get a raise. He left three years ago, and now the store has been replaced with O'Reilly's.
