Scenario 22-6 ​

Short Answer

Scenario 22-6
​
Shana owns a boutique that sells high-end women's clothing and accessories. Katie works part-time at the boutique and frequently is the only employee in this small store. Shana pays Katie a wage that is higher than the market wage for this type of job. When the store is not full of customers, Katie diligently works on displays and cleans to keep the store looking its best. Belinda is a customer in the store who asks Katie's opinion on the quality of some jeans she is considering purchasing. Katie tells her the quality is great even though she's had several other customers return them due to flaws. Magda is another customer who is returning a necklace without volunteering that a gem is missing.
-Refer to Scenario 22-2. Why do you suppose Shana pays Katie a wage higher than the market wage?
