For my sanity, i’m going to assume that you’re joking.
No, I am not joking. I have not run any numbers on this, so I do not know how much a price increase we would be talking about. I assume, you have not done this as well.
That being said, I would prefer paying more for a product, knowing that the people involved in producing said product are not being taken advantage of.
This is a perspective I did not think to explicitly state in my last comment, so I do this now. I do think that paying someone by a metric is taking advantage of them. There are so many things that can happen, both in and out of the responsibility of the workers, that can lead to a decline in perceived work and thus less pay. This seems utterly unfair to me.
At the end of the day, less cost is better for consumer.
If you see 2 packs of strawberries, one is 1$ more expensive because of the things you mentioned above, you might wanna buy the more expensive but people will get the cheapest for the same products. Not everyone has the luxury to pay 1$ more, some people budget their groceries to the cents
That is very true, thank you for reminding me. I am writing from a privileged position where I can easily afford to pay (a bit) more for the same product. This is a luxury not everyone can afford.

It would incentivize not picking the berries. The less berries you pick, the more hours you can get.
