Pay Scale, fine dining edition
There are few stories as popular as the ones ogling the multimillion-dollar paychecks of the business and finance honchos who eat at swanky New York eateries such as Balthazar and Telepan. I wonder what those masters of the universe would think if they knew that the reservationist at Balthazar makes $12 an hour, or that the waiters at Telepan not only earn just $4.60 an hour, but the managers take a "huge portion" of their tips as well. Just askin'.

Uh...do you think they would have any reaction at all except perhaps smugness? Or a sense that the market is perfect.

Do you think that the reservationist at Balthazar adds particularly more value or is much more skilled than the reservationist at The Keg?
