In general, people making $55,000 a year don't try to pees off the boss because they don't care about getting fired.
If people feel they are fairly compensated for their time, skills, and efforts, they are more likely to take care of the customer.
People who feel appreciated by management are more likely to appreciate their job, boss, and co-workers in return.
People who are paid well will try to keep a good thing going and devote large amounts of personal effort and sacrifice to that end.
People making 55,000 a year don't say "screw this place, I could be making more at McDonalds", they say "How do I take care of this golden goose?".
These statements are in general; there are always exceptions.
....
People working for $20,000 may be less inclined to raise the bar on a daily basis.
Someone at this level who shows up in a clean, ironed uniform and busts his hump all day will soon be promoted or move on to better things. But after several years without a raise or promotion, this guy will stop getting up at 5am to shine his shoes before work.
Someone who sees his benefits cut repeatedly and is ordered to work more hours for less pay will begin to see his employer as a tyrant and will not lift a finger to save the company.
People who are told they are just a number will see their customers as just a number.
People making $20,000 will do the minimum required, because it is McDonalds pay and everyone has worked at McDonalds and has seen firsthand that doing the minimum expected is good enough for 95% of the workforce.
My 2 cents.
