When I started drawing this chapter, I only had a very vague idea regarding how it will end, and decided at a quite late point to explore Yalala's and Dolon's rather lopsided relationship a bit more.
(This also means, BTW: The option of killing off Dolon was actually on the table for a while!)
I knew that I wanted to do something with Dolon that would upset Yalala. Other options were him straight up breaking up with her, or him demanding to be petrified again.
I am not an expert regarding the working conditions in stores like this specifically. But as far as I know we have indeed more laws regarding employee rights than in the States.
As it is... the wage slave purgatory he is asking for may be worse.
(But then again, this is set in Germany, so he might get some worthwhile benefits.)
