Yeah but that type of pathetic wage is the norm in Ontarible. By 2019 our minimum wage will be 15.00 per hour though.

Isn't minimum wage gonna go up to 15$ in ontario soon? If so, you're basically offering minimum wage to handle guns and ammos. And I understand shipping isn't nuclear physic, but one restricted firearm sent to the wrong address and you're gonna have an unpleasant conversation with the CFO.

Minimum wage employee screws up at McDo, you end up with the wrong burger. Similar mistake at a gun shop and you end up with 2 customers who bought the same gun the same with the right model of gun but wrong serial number, and they find out only 5 years later when one of them tries to sell the gun and finds out the certificate doesn't match the gun...

I beg to differ. When I receive a new Firearms Registration Certificate, I always check to confirm that the info is correct for the firearm that I've purchased.

I can honestly say for the 25+ restricted firearms I've bought I have never once done this. I'm sure there are others out there like me.

As other people said: minimum wage will get you minimum qualifications. This, in turn, will translate into a pool of unhappy customers.

Entry level job = Entry level wage
BUT
Prove yourself and things may progress.
Granted, I don't work for or represent FOC.

If you were an employer, would you not want someone to prove themselves 1st?
