Level of service makes a huge difference, just FYI. Maybe you do not notice or care - in many cases I sure dont. (other than noting the general state of disorganization of the shelves, slow stocking, etc)

But I can tell you lots of people do - especially middle aged women. Who gossip about the good or poor service they get at a store alllll the time. Trying to say that there is no connect between pay/benefits and service, and service/sales is a nonstarter. It makes a huge difference, go strike up a watercooler conversation about places to shop and service with some females at your workplace sometime. Especially if they are 40+
