It's a totally different job to work in a shop compared to a warehouse - you may as well ask why doesn't a hairdresser become a firefighter and earn better wages.
I've no idea why shop workers are 'whining' about their wages - maybe they think warehouse staff are usually at the bottom of the food chain in most organisations, and are pissed off they earn less than they do?
I entirely agree with the bib, but Tesco/Asda store staff don't and believe it's of 'equal value' arguing their jobs in the stores are just as demanding as warehouse jobs. I've never worked in either environment but imagine warehouse work to be more physically demanding than that of store staff, not to mention stores being a more pleasant environment. Though the warehouse are said to be predominantly male staffed, the fact that
some women actually work in the distribution centres blows the store workers gripe apart imo. If they want to earn more, then they can apply to work in the warehouse centres.
