In a thought-provoking exchange, Caleb Hammer addresses a 24-year-old woman who believes she is “too cute” to work in fast food. During their conversation, she reveals that she has not filed taxes in two years and received $20,000 in COVID unemployment benefits while still on Medicaid as a high school senior. Hammer’s direct response to her attitude challenges the notion of entitlement in the current job market. This interaction raises important questions about responsibility and the implications of government assistance.
