At @OP,
I do have some left leaning ideas, but I really don't have anything against how your restaurant is set up. At a restaurant, the scrub waiters would all get paid the same for the same basic work. HOWEVER, there is incentive because of the quality of work would naturally mean a higher tip.
the General Manager guy gets paid more because he has the responsibility for all the stuff to work. He's the one who will get the axe if the restaurant goes wrong. He does more work, he has more liability and responsibility, and so therefore he gets compensated more for it.
If I were just a regular manager, perhaps I don't want to carry all that extra responsibility and am just content making 40k a year.
If everyone was at the restaurant was happy with their roles and accepted the money they made, then I don't think there would be any problem with that system.
Iono, I guess I'm not really understanding your point. Its not capitalism you're describing; its just how the world is supposed to work. More responsibility = more money, right?
