In order to motivate your stockboys and stockgirls to restock shelves faster, why not pay them commission for every item they put away and every box they unload?

Question

Maybe make the commission 1% of the item's sale price, so a $30 item, for example, will pay the stocker $0.30 for every one of those $30 items they put away.

Inflation is already soaring supermarket prices so a small extra to pay the per-item and per-box commissions won't harm the customers anymore than Inflation already has.

Then make each box unpacked also pay 1% of the value of the contents of each box.

That would make the work-life of shelf stockers so much fairer in all Kroger and Dillons stores everywhere.

I bet those who will object to this idea are probably Republicans anyway.
