It's all a matter of skills, and scarcity.

These jobs are low paying because competition is high between low-skilled candidates: "if you don't want to mob the floor, you're fired, I'll find someone else".

Do these people have a choice ? They usually have a choice between many low paying jobs.

Is it morally justifiable? If you believe meritocracy is a bad thing, then no. If you think it's a good thing, then low paying low-skilled jobs are just a fact.
