duties still include manning tills, stocking shelves and cleaning
floors.

That's correct. Everyone does everything.

Which is how it should be. Everywhere. Not just Aldi.

I'm not sure how that would work in a hospital. Or an engineering firm.


Or plenty of other places either. It makes absolutely no sense
for the best surgeons who have a limit on how many operations
can be done in a particular say week should be sweeping the
floor or cleaning the dunnys.


Why not? Because it's beneath their dignity?


I would actually worry more about the people being operated on by people
who have only been trained to operate a floor polisher.

But the obvious answer is that it is a waste of money spending twently
years training someone as a specialist surgeon then only using their
skills for a fraction of the working week. This before the admittedly
begged question of their much higher salary. But I don't think you
would get many doing the very arduous twenty year training were it not
for the higher salary.

What went wrong with Mao's Cultural Revolution? On the face of it it
was a good idea.
