Let us consider a shop assistant earning £6,000 a year.
A shop assistant has to be a psychologist.
What is the position of the shop assistant?
There was no suggestion that the restrictions were other than beneficial both to the shopkeeper and to the shop assistant.

But the public see the shop assistant at work and come into personal contact with the work of the shop assistant.
A shop assistant is not the owner; he can be exploited.
