Increase the toll booth pay (I brought receipts)

[Ash]

tl;dr Up the hourly pay to $900 and/or make every vehicle going through give the worker $300

I have just worked the toll booth job to calculate its /h salary and it is awful. This was at server population 188-203 players over about 1.5 hours.

Current pay system:
$200 every 15 minutes IRL + $0-$300 per vehicle that goes through ($0 for VIP and work vehicles)

Find a table below of the data after the initial 30 minute wait to even start collecting salary.

The first 4 columns highlight the actuals.
The VIP adjusted pay is what it could be like if someone with VIP using it still paid the worker
The last 2 columns are what it could be like if the worker got paid for any vehicle going through.



I don't know if I got unlucky, I may have missed a customer or two, but even if so, the pay is extremely bad compared to many other jobs. Especially when you consider 90% of people don't want to interact with you, they just want to pay and go on their merry way, and one of the toll booth locations you can't have a friend working with you.

For comparison, at burger shot, where you get to actually interact with people, you get $900 in the same timeframe you get $200 here I believe (and more customers that 'tip').

Please bump up the "hourly" pay to 3x what it currently is at the least, and/or give pay to the worker for the people who get it for free.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

so, the only issue i can see happening from this is script abuse. if a VIP pays nothing, but money is generated for the person working, thats... widely open to abuse. so something would have to be set up to make that not possible. i think the solution is to have a base hourly rate, and then any tolls that come through are just commission on top, just like when people order from burgershot

If that was the route that they go down, then a time limit on a specific driver generating revenue could solve this, say 30 minutes.
That was more of an additional thing though, I mainly just think the 200/h should be 900/h instead

+1 just add an hourly base pay like burger shot and leave the toll payments like its a tip if someone places a order at burger shot

it should stop the abuse that may happen but still ensures the worker is getting paid for their time, just put a 30 min cooldown before pay starts

ps... to many numbers didnt read but i understood it, only money you get is if someone pays the toll and most times you get none due to VIP or work cars passing

There is, but its 200 instead of the 900 burger shot gets, then on top of that non-VIP-non-work payments

+1, make it hourly to something like 500, and then make toll payments a "tip" type of thing

Really respect the work that went into this post.

Honestly a lot of the freelance jobs could do with a bump. what was acceptable years ago is now outdated due to natural inflation.

+1

+1 I would love an increase in RP between toll booth workers and factions (Mechanics, LE, EMS) if more people were incentivized to work them.
