Flash forward two weeks. Cherry didn't use the bank but Jugs did. Cherry worked 10 hours each week (20 total), made $300, and averaged $15/hour.

Jugs worked 11 hours the first week and banked an hour...so she was paid for 10. The second week, she cashed an hour in, working only 9 but getting paid for 10.

Both girls worked 20 hours, got paid $300 (plus tips), and averaged $15/hr.

Notably, Jugs worked more when she had WORSE seniority, and less after she had moved up the totem pole (among others).
