Mom Paid $9 For 70 Hours Of Work Gets Last Laugh

In spite of her chuckles, she shook her head when she saw the nine dollars in her paycheck. Seventy hours of work earned her nothing.

It was already a challenging situation. A number of her bills were due, and she had fallen behind on many of them. Her income was too poor to keep working like that. Her vengeance would come.

She’s A Fighter

Being a self-sufficient person is no walk in the park. Jobs are scarce and existence is expensive.

Some people are fortunate to find jobs that pay well and have benefits, while others have to take whatever it is they can get. This was the case for Aaliyah Cortez, a 24-year-old who was determined to make the best out of her situation.

The Perfect Job

Aaliyah is a single mother who wanted nothing but the best for her son. She wanted to give him the life she never had, so she went job-hunting daily.

Aaliyah was so excited when she stumbled upon a bartending job! However, she had no idea what a horrible mistake she made by taking the job.

Loving Her New Job

Aaliyah’s first day of work was a breeze, and she really enjoyed her co-workers. She loved meeting new people and she felt so grateful that she landed this job.

She even was lucky enough to get a customer that gave her a very generous tip and she was stunned! However, that was not the only surprise in store for Aaliyah.

Her First Paycheck

The week flew by and Aaliyah was exhausted! The job was very demanding but she knew it was going to be worth it.

Aaliyah received her paycheck the next Friday and she immediately shoved it into her purse, not thinking of looking at it. She wanted to get home as soon as possible because she wanted to spoil her son to dinner and ice cream.
