    Sales commissions are still paid for directly by the business. Why do restaurants not have to pay their “sales people” directly?

      Not always. There are sales jobs that are 100% commission, but I’m the same way they do have to ensure you are paid a minimum. The person making the exchange is arbitrary.

        No sales person was ever paid directly by the business’ customer. It’s always paid from the company’s account.

            Ok, If I squint really hard I can kind of see where you were trying to say that. Let’s just consider my comments to be a clarification rather than a correction.

        No, it’s really not arbitrary. That’s how commission works, it’s paid to you by your employer, not the customer directly.

        It’s not a good analogy.
