I work at the Myrtle Beach castle, so I can only speak about what I know at this location. Serfs and wenches in the gift shop and Photography departments start at $7.50/hr and are eligible for raises after 90 days with the company (eligible doesn't mean you'll actually get it.) Bar employees make $6.50/hr and split tips evenly so that nobody gets stiffed while others leave with pockets full of cash. I don't know what show cast, soundbooth technicians, knights, or squires make. Maybe someone else can help you with that.

1st Answer:
Knights didn't get "paid." Since they were nobles they were under the king and the king gave smaller parts of the kingdom for the nobles to rule over. They act as the judge in cases within their regions, it was their duty to protect the peasants and the Church from enemies. Each noble held their land from the king and that could be taken away as well by the king. Often power came in marriage through another noble family whose daughter held lands, but everyone was connected by a bond to the king.
2nd Answer:
The Fordham University website has a Medieval Sourcebook that provides a list of wages and prices (see link below). According to that site, a knight got 2 shillings per day in 1316, and a knight banneret got double that. At the same time, an infantryman got 2 pence (12 pence = 1 shilling).
According to the Fordham University website, Medieval Sourcebook, a knight was paid 2 shillings per day in 1316. This was about 24 times as much as an unskilled laborer.
In medieval times, soldiers were commonly referred to as knights.

Lunch was not a regular meal during medieval times; breakfast and dinner were the only standard meals of the day. A common snack might have been a piece of fruit.
