In the UK there is a chain of stores called John Lewis. "John Lewis is a co-operative; all employees have a stake in the profits and all workers are called "partners". The staff turnover is well below the national average and assistants get to know their beat and their customers well." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3657242/Spare-John-Lewis-from-the-retail-revolution.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3657242/Spare-John-Lewis-... It's amazing how well you're treated any of the staff at all of their stores. From the cleaners to shoe-fitters, they all seem to work that little bit harder to make the experience of buying in John Lewis as enjoyable as possible. It's an interesting case study of a hybrid between ownership and employment.
