I tried to read the $7,000 McDonald's article again, before I wrote mine.

But it did not show up again. Nine years running, $7,000 for eight of those years.

I witnessed $7,000 before, though. 2007-2009 Taco Bell, $14,000 over twenty months. I scratched off about $400 and made 750ml Hennessey runs for management, before the local package store shut down. That's $7,000 a year in less than two years. I could only get there after 5PM, but I always closed: 2AM, 3AM, 4AM. Mind you, I kept a 9-5PM desk job for 23 years since 1995. $7,000 jobs would not have been responsible to my family. that

2013-2016 Ruby Tuesday out of Maryville, Tennessee: took my Taco Bell closing skills to a restaurant within walking distance. Store closed August 2016. Been closing for Papi's Cuban Caribbean grille Lawrenceville 2017-present. that

My biggest Ruby Tuesday year was 2014: $10,000 USD. More to come. Taco Bell John's Creek reared its ugly head 2015, but after I worked a total 80 hours for less than $700.00 I quit and went back to Ruby Tuesday. There had to be some dignity. My Papi's 2018 W2 says just under $7,000 USD ($6,528.60)

Papi's no problem so far, at four nights a week. But the government came at me in 2018. After the IRS took $8,000.00 from my pension 2017, they accused me of having $7,000 in unreported income for 2016 (Ruby Tuesday).

I'm in an installment agreement for $2,500.00 probably until my tax refund this year. See the patterns here? $7,000.00 is real, whether you're in Poland, McDonald's or not. $7,000 whether you work 40 hours or not, regardless of $7.25 minimum wage for the WHOLE DAMN year.
