Socialism (communism?) is usually framed as "workers earning their full worth" but the dirty truth is that it is more "workers earning their preset cut of the pie, which is independent of the work they put in".
So while the shelf-stocker might be earning $24/hr, their actual hard economic output is much less than this - $19/hr. The difference is made up by the salesperson making $26/hr, instead of $31/hr.
Many sales people might be fine with this sacrifice, but even more likely will not, and will tire of being the ones who need to sacrifice.
