I'm proud that we paid hero pay. We weren't asked to. Some of the other retailers mentioned in this room that you want to hear from did not pay it. Maybe you should ask them.

We said that we would keep it in as long as there were lockdowns and that we would bring it back if regions locked down. After that, regions did lock down and we kept paying hero pay, so I'm proud of that.
