I have, worked as a cashier for a couple years. I know they never let you get to 40 hours, if you do then they have to start offering benefits.
However, that wasn't part of the exercise. Grandparent stated that:
> McDonald's for 40 hours puts you well above poverty line
I decided to run the numbers rather than go with gut feeling of no way. Figured I would share since I did the work.
Grandparent was only haft right since they also state you would need a crazy amount of dependents to put you at Federal Poverty Level. If you had 2 dependents, you are above but living hand to mouth and one accident away from povert.

But I do believe it’s worth telling people that crappy jobs are crappy for reasons besides pure hourly pay; they have other features that are both demeaning and austere.
