I sold $350k-$1.2M / month when I worked at CompUSA in college (late 90s). I averaged $10/hr jan-september, about $18 november/december.

I was usually ranked 3 out of 100 salespeople. The rest made $6.60/hr.

I wasn't being exploited, and neither are the folks at the Apple store.



I take it you're an exceptional salesperson.

But the problem with your argument is that most people aren't exceptional. "Most people" is the very definition of normal. And normal people deserve a living wage, especially if they're working for the most profitable company in history.


Nobody deserves anything.


I assume that if the government were to expropriate all the capital owned by shareholders of Apple, you wouldn't be out there saying that they deserve to keep it?
