    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.
