If you can market this "decent wage" to your customers successfully enough that they buy in, then you can continue along this trajectory. (As a side note, most people here probably wouldn't take you up on that "decent wage" retail job, in part because they don't consider the wages very impressive. On the other hand, people who work at the "unscrupulous" grocery stores have agreed to those wages. So "decent" might have a sliding scale.)
- lmilcin 5y agoThat only works if your customers are willing to pay for employees to be paid better. As it is, it seems most people do not give a fuck about it and will still choose a store that is cheaper. Actually, everybody knows Walmart or Amazon employees are paid shit and they still choose cheap.
