Yes, but what is your point?

I was responding to the claim that no waiter in NYC would accept the 20% deal.

I'd wager over half would -- because, as you point out, "some people make more money than others in all occupations".

Ok I see what you were saying.

I don’t know the NYC scene enough to say for sure.
It could be that an average 20% of gross receipts could be the low end there
