Well trained? IIRC the course has no academic entry requirements and lasts less than three months. Not exactly gruelling!

Yes, they do more than wait tables, but so do plenty of others. Swimming pool attendants do as much first aid training, as do many supermarket shelf-stackers and waiting staff in the larger chains. As far as I can see the only real justification for paying more than basic wages would be the anti-social work patterns, but again many shift workers have similarly anti-social patterns.
