That viral clip about 'nobody wants to work anymore' got wrecked by one receipt from a Waffle House in Macon
I was scrolling on my phone during a break on Tuesday and saw this clip going around where a guy with 200k followers says nobody wants to work anymore because a diner near him was short staffed. The comments were full of people nodding along, and I almost kept scrolling, but then a server from Macon, Georgia dropped a photo of her pay stub in the replies. She made $2.13 an hour plus tips, and her check for 70 hours came out to $118 after taxes. The guy never replied to her, just quietly turned off comments, which tells you everything. I ended up saving that screenshot because it is the cleanest takedown of a bad take I have seen in a long time. The wild part is people were still defending him under other posts the next day like nothing happened. Why do these takes keep working on people when the math is this easy to check?
