If someone was an obvious loafer, then they didn't last long. I was doing this with a commercial lawn service and a commercial cleaning service meaning I was hiring low skill workers. This was back in the mid to late 90s and it was pretty common my guys would make around $400/week which was way over min wage then and still more than it is now.
