A viral TikTok post by Los Angeles resident Matt Rhoades recently sparked a massive conversation about dating, wages, and work-life balance. The video, which has already racked up over 1.5 million views, detailed a situation in which Rhoades attempted to set up a date, only to be met with an unexpected realization of the value of a person’s day through her Apple Cash request.
Rhoades explained the situation in his post. He claimed, “I was trying to hang with this girl yesterday, but she said she had work, and I said I’d pay for her day off, and she Apple requested $3,000. Baby, go clock in and bring me an application.” The $3,000 request seems to have left him pretty stunned, to the point where he even seemed to reevaluate his own career path.
