Truck and Barter: Hawker Wages

Hawker Wages

By Bob

Ever wanted to know how much those guys walking up and down the stairs at sporting events selling ice cream make? Well, now you do ( via HaloHeaven):

RHF: What is your pay rate/commission rate?
AH: We get a flat rate of 20% commission. If we happen to not make enough commission we make something close to minimum wage hourly--I'm not sure what it is because I never have made hourly. My average sales are about $700 to $800 a night game with day games often breaking $1,000.

With sales of $800 at a 20% commisssion generates a commission of $160.

If he works for 4 hours that is $40/ hour.

I find that difficult to believe for a job that requires no
special skills.

Why would any rational employeer pay $40/ hour.
