This idea takes ignorance by the hand and buys it dinner, if one can afford it in this poor of an economy. I could go further with this, but I won't get grotesque.
Take it from somebody who recently graduated with a BA from Seton Hall--the economy and job market is at such a low right now, that unless a job isn't even providing enough for your NEEDS, be happy with what you've got.
Unemployment rate is still rising right now, and personally, I work for a supermarket (Whole Foods Market) as well. Those who have jobs are lucky to have them right now, especially during the holidays.
I have years of IT experience both under my belt and on paper, and graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice. A job working at a supermarket was the last place I thought I'd be.
If you decide to still go for a different job right now, my advice is this: look around, apply, go to interviews, and keep your job search under the radar (from your current employer, at least). Unless your management sees you as a serious asset in your position, they're likely to drop you at the blink of an eye, because in most managements' eye, somebody who is looking to leave is not currently working to their full potential, and is easily replaceable--even easier in a position, no offense, where one is making less than $8 an hour.
