I kinda agree but I'd wonder how the unemployed person is surviving now, how the business is doing, how much the employer is bringing home and how good of a deal the potential bartender would feel that job is. Like with the value for value model, I think everybody (including patrons) would feel better about paying more if they trusted that the value was being distributed "fairly". The millionaire and billionaire both probably worked hard, but one also got very lucky.
