In the comments section, some users argued that the extra hours aren’t worth it, while others shared their experiences with the ice cream company.  

“Don’t do it, take your days off cause money ain’t worth it,” one user suggested. Kaity responded, saying, “Money is worth everything. I love money.”

“Or you come back and the freezer is 4 days behind schedule, 14 cakes need to be made and you have to stir the caramel,” another user commented.

“And they still under pay you,” a third user wrote.
