Explanation:
Quote:
"The people who sell things in retail stores used to be called "sales clerks" but are now usually called "sales associates." The change in job title may have been a way to make clerks feel like partners with with store managers, store owners and ultimately, investors. And yet, the truth of the matter is that most sales "associates" are still just salesworkers, earning low wages in high turnover jobs that often carry no benefits."
