I don't know how it works where you are from, but it seems reasonable to assume team membership when you wear their costume, get compensated by them, and perform tasks on their behalf to further enrich said team.

do you work for minimum wage?

I don't think anyone is completely devoid of responsability for the work they do, no matter how alienated. but I also think the share of responsability goes up with salary - if you have more options then you have more choice

I would argue that the lower your salary, the more choice you have in where you spend your time to earn it. Let's not skip past the fact that working at McDonald's is not mandated, and there are not job assignments doled out to people with their birth certificate. A choice was made, and the rest follows.

lolwut?! if you earn 2 times minimum wage right you still have the option to work for minimum wage

Of course, but you are being obtuse in moving away from your original argument. Otherwise, why not just get a higher paying job instead of minimum wage lololol. Discarding that, it's an obvious fact that there are fewer job opportunities at higher wage classes as you proceed up through them, so my point to your diversion stands.
