Again that is not true. Again please read what you quoted twice. "Ah, jobs" /= "all jobs".

At a rate of $10 (or $20) per hour, they would be paid too little if and only if they are doing work worth more than $10 (or $20) an hour. If I am forced to wait in a store because the staff is too slow to deal with the customers, then I do not give the shop more money for the extra time I was waiting there.
