Scaled pricing

Workers cannot afford their own produce

I think this is a huge problem. A delivery driver for food cannot afford his own service. An iPhone assembler in China cannot afford an iPhone A barista cannot afford his own wages and coffees

I propose prices scale by what you can afford. At point of sale, the price is dependent on you as a person.

Let's say a a coffee shop wants to sell its coffees at £3.65.

- For a barista, the price is scaled down to 27% and can buy the coffee for at-cost only, £1. - For a wealthy person with disposable income of £1000. The coffee is £3.65 - For someone with disposable income of £100 the coffee is £1.

       The Hi-Lo Restaurant in East Oxford used to have the slogan "from a penny to a thousand pounds". So I think they baked this.
