I get what you're saying, but I also think there's a spectrum. It's easier, and more likely, for your shopkeeper to be fairer in their compensation of employees, even to the point of being "ideally fair." But it's also possible for that shopkeeper to be grossly unfair and exploitative, entirely within the law.
Sure. And to the extent that the sole proprietor has to compete with corporate chains their business almost has to be as shitty to their employees.
That shopkeeper looks just a bit more capitalist now. It's systemic.
