I worked for Radio Shack as well for a decade during the 90's and was manager after a couple of years, but I made that happen without managers help mostly. I got tired of literally babysitting one managers kid on his day off (while working alone) so moved to the biggest store in the district. The day that manager told me to follow a guy around the store "because he's a 'n-word'" I left his store and moved to where I still am because this is where the largest district office is for this region. Got my own store and worked at several even winning two 50% sales gain awards back to back when I realized something. The ct-350 cell phones were discontinued down to zero dollars so I got the entire country to send me all their good stock, "sold" them for 1 penny provided that the people signed up with the carrier. I literally had a line going out the store that summer for almost two solid months in a row, it was kick ass business with HUGE profits (and bonuses). Nobody was doing that back then in the 90's; giving away free phones with contract.

I got tired of that job when we got a thankless prick for a district manager who loved the "bro's" club more than people in adult do. Just a gossip lover who spent his days on the phone bullshitting. I was all about working hard and serving the customer, not being one of the cool kids on the block and wearing a fancy watch. Still am. When I started making more money in adult than I did at my job, I took a demotion and finally quit to start doing this full time in late 1999.

Before that it was years at a commercial photo lab preceeded by years in manufacturing and quality control of military and commercial circuit boards.

Some people are going to just work hard enough not to get fired no matter what the wage is, and some are going to work hard because that's what they're supposed to do internally. When I started working, minimum wage was 2.75 or so per hour and if you suggested it might be $5 the same exact people would be telling you how society would collapse just like today. The actual number isn't important it's the mindset. It's not just "OMG that's too much for me to pay!" It's long term and widespread ripple effect.
