A restaurant owner hires a waiter to serve food to customers and clear the tables. The owner wants the waiter to be prompt in bringing out the food and clearing the table once the guests are finished with their meal. The waiter is paid a salary and cannot accept tips. The waiter would prefer to check their Facebook account and take their time waiting the tables. If the waiter does spend considerable time checking their Facebook while the owner is not at the restaurant, the owner can motivate the waiter to be prompt waiting tables (and stop checking Facebook)in each of the following ways except which one?

Offering a higher salary without tying it to performance does not directly address the issue of the waiter spending time on Facebook instead of serving tables promptly. The other options tie the waiter's compensation directly to their performance, which would motivate them to focus on their work.
