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.
