R92 300

All wages are above the national minimum of R30.23 an ordinary hour, and sales associates are commission-bearing because fitting and conversion is a trained skill rather than a shelf-stacking one. A customer who is measured properly and shown two alternatives buys; a customer who is pointed at a wall does not.
