"Its still possible now if arguably somewhat more difficult. "

It isn't arguable. It is considerably more difficult. Middle management, as practiced prior to the mid-1980's has disappeared. What exists now is very different and the barriers to entry are much higher.

"A store manager definitely would not be in the lowest quitile."

If qualifying for food stamps doesn't put you in the lowest quintile, then I don't know what it is. True, some stores have a high enough volume to make that untrue. But others don't. I was an MIT and was about ready to qualify for a store. I have a pretty good idea what a manager could get. Luckily for me, I landed a job in my field. So I could say bye bye to 80-120 hour work weeks...
