my wife noticed the help wanted sign advertising 12 dollars an hour starting um McDonald is paying more than that

the local gas station is up to 13-14 starting and 2 dollars more for second or third shift.

did notice the sign at McDonald's said Daily pay , I assume that means you punch out for the day and your pay is in your account the next day or even same day.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

A Pizza Hut sign said "work one hour a day or 8 hours a day.......we'll work with you."
In Florida a bridge construction site on I-4 is shut down with a big HELP WANTED sign needing about 6 positions.

Maybe it's a generational thing but I've never walked into a big box hardware store expecting any kind of help. On the app on my phone, I can check inventory and find the exact location of what I'm looking for. If I can't load it on a flat bed, I won't be able to unload it when I get home.
