Agreed. I walked past a high-end fashion store in a major European city recently. The big glass door was locked, with a sign explaining that the shop was open, the door was locked to prevent theft. There was one young woman inside staffing the shop, sitting behind a counter. I envied her, I could happily take minimum wage for a year or so, sitting at a desk all day with very occasional interruption, while I tap at a laptop working on personal projects. Unfortunately I'm not a glamorous 20-something European woman.
