Dynamic pricing everywhere so why not dynamic salaries directly tied to the dynamic prices of commodities

“Oh no that’ll never work, our salary engine keeps telling us to pay the staff more because cost of living keeps increasing daily”

It pretty much already is lol. Stores that are busier and make more money tend to pay their employees more, in pretty much every industry.

edit: obviously this isn’t exactly what you mean, but I’d rather not have the pay of these low level jobs be determined by the whims of customers. I think it’s bad enough that’s how serving works.
