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.

The minimum wage in the Phillipines is around $10 a day.

If this is right:

Looks like the absolute max is less than $10, and the absolute minimum is less than six dollars.

How come agricultural laborers get shafted? An immediate guess is the government trying to keep food costs down.
