I mean, people should get payed more, but what do you expect a single (relatively) small grocery chain to do? Also this is more about protecting staff as they have to be the ones to turn them on when an incident occurs rather than an always-on thing

This is not a small grocery chain. This is one of the two largest supermarket chains in Australia.

People can't afford to shop at those small stores. When I was making $100k I exclusively shopped at locally owned stores. But after being laid off, I can only afford to shop at Walmart and Amazon.

Coles is part of a duopoly with Woolies in Australia, so... They aren't small by any means.
