If they're doing exactly the same job, and no skill whatsoever is involved, then fair enough.  But Should I pay an 18 year old, who has never pulled a pint the same as I pay a 25 year old, who can not only pull pints (doesn't require skill) but also change gas, rack ales, condition them, tap them, mix cocktails, has barista experience etc etc. (The things that DO require some skill and experience.)  I have to invest time and money in that person, who will probably move on after university. Whereas I can now get an experienced person for a similar price.  

I'm a little bit obsessed with Underworld at the moment. So good in 2016, they have to come back next year, it just makes sense.

Yep in this case because experience doesn’t really mean you can do a fairly basic job any better , and that’s from me that’s done the job for 30 years …. Up a level then experience I’d say does start to count for something but a supervisory role gets paid a higher rate anyway 

That exactly what keeps your pints below a fiver, your Maccies below a tenner and your milk below £2. You can't have your cake and eat it. I'd love to be able to pay everybody much more, but it only has a knock on effect at the till. And are you happy to pay much more for your goods? 

So you think somebody with experience should be paid the same as somebody with no experience, fresh out of school?
