Why can’t he sacrifice a little of his obscene wage to satisfy the drivers?
Shell is a worldwide company whose income is not just from retail sales of petrol. The drivers are employed by several different companies. IIRC It is the exploration side that makes the money, the retail side of things doesn't make much money at all. Shell is not on the list of the 7 companies, unless one of them is a part of Shell.
