The salaries paid to assistants, all girls, were £2, £1 ss, £l, and 15s, whereas the minimum wage for a grocer’s assistant is £4 10s. Evidence showed that defendant was running a business on novel lines in vogue in the United States, the goods being arranged in small packages and selected by customers themselves, who brought them to the counter, where the assistant called out the price, after which, payment was made at a cash register.
