2. Screw. That.
“When I worked at McDonald’s, I found out we didn’t get paid for closing. We got paid until the store closed, so if it took us an extra hour or two to close, that was unpaid.
I wish I knew what I know now, because that is an open and shut case, but at the time, I was young and dumb.
My first paycheck, I noticed I had a ton of missing hours. So when I asked my boss about it, she told me we only get paid until the store closed… So that night, I walked out when the store closed. They tried to guilt me into staying because ‘the other team members need me.’
Screw. That. I don’t work for free, sorry. Especially when I’m already making minimum wage. No thanks, not gonna happen.”
