Sonia works at a restaurant where tips are pooled and divided equally. Anna works at a different restaurant where she keeps the tips her customers leave for her. Which of the following is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anna works harder because she is directly rewarded for her efforts through the tips she receives. Her tips are her personal property, so she has a stronger incentive to provide excellent service to her customers. In contrast, Sonia receives an equal share of the pooled tips regardless of her performance, so she may be less motivated to work as hard. The information provided does not suggest that particular restaurants are more difficult or expensive to work at, so options A and C are irrelevant. Option E is not correct because we have enough information to conclude that Anna has a stronger incentive to work harder.
