      They’re being paid minimum wage. It’s not a great job.

      Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working in the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

          If this is right:

          Looks like the absolute max is less than $10, and the absolute minimum is less than six dollars.

          • $5.24 (306 PHP)
            to
          • $9.76 (570 PHP)

          How come agricultural laborers get shafted? An immediate guess is the government trying to keep food costs down.
