I think the complaint about 11.25 isn't that it's bad for retail, but that it's bad for the value of the merchandise they move.

Yup. Commission would be good considering how much money the employees sell.

But then the quality of the service goes down.


Have you been to an Apple store? The service sucks.

Not my cult, but why make it worse?

I thought you cared about the workers.

Higher salaries and better working conditions will do that.


So you insist on keeping the workers down?

How is bringing workers up, bringing them down?

Stop lying. You want them to stay down so your Appl stocks will be worth more.

Nah. I'd  prefere they unionize.

A Gurkha would be more effective.

You are just like Draco and have low expectations.


Were you expecting something different?

This has nothing with the current discusion. /links some argumentative fallacy

Gurkhas have everything to do with all discussions. /Link picture of a Gurkha killing the Wiki fallacy page.

Well something higher than 12 bucks. Minimum wage is almost at 10$ here.

Last I heard, it was around $7.50 here.
How low can someone aim?

Depends on how low their starting point is, wouldn't you agree?

Perhaps, but I am seldom disappointed.
