An Orlando woman caught the undivided attention of social media users when she posted how much she earned during her first 82 hours working at McDonald’s. The video quickly inspired many users to share their strong opinions about the current cost of living and the minimum wages people are expected to survive on.
In the original video, posted on TikTok under the username @iamjasminecherie, the creator wrote in the caption, in part, “laughing through my pain.” Jasmine speaks with uncertainty before finally revealing a paycheck for $1,128. She then laughs and says, “Okay! It’s not as low as I thought.”
