Or just pay them like normal and stop throwing away most of what we buy from them.
Pay? There's no 'pay' anything in a post-scarcity scenario. Nothing has to be paid for. If it's truly post-scarcity anyway.
Sure that's one way to do it. How do you see it working?
I don't. There will always be scarcity unless there's some way to completely automate the entire process of farming and delivery, plus maintenance on all the equipment, plus all energy needs.
I don't really see that happening. At least not for 100 years or more.
