Keith, you got it backwards. You don't raise the pay for idiots; but you (a) raise the hiring standards, so that only qualified people apply [or so that the UNqualified are weeded out during the hiring process], and then (b) you pay these people what they're worth in order to keep them. I would suggest an ASE certification in auto parts as a minimum hiring qualification [easy for ME to say, since I've been ASE certified since 1997]. That would also be an incentive for dealership parts personnel to get certified, as it would open up other job opportunities for them as well...and we've ALL run into unqualified personnel at the parts counter on the dealership level. When a person chooses a career, they should at least be qualified to do the job. You wouldn't want your gall bladder removed by someone who didn't know (a) surgery or (b) your medical history; and neither should someone expect to be a parts person who doesn't know (a) parts and (b) vehicle history, at least over the past 40 years. That's just MY opinion; YOUR mileage may vary, void where prohibited, and alcohol may intensify any side effects.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
