Sorry if it wasn't clear, I wasn't commenting on Rapha staff in particular, it was a reply to the comment from @b&d about retail staff in general.
It's all about negotiation - negotiate better, get a better deal or move on.
It's worked for many generations of salespeople.
Salespeople maybe but not retail assistants. There it's all 'your hourly wage is £X, end of chat'. Even further up in large organisations there's no real negotiation unless you get unions in.
