A McDonald's location is so desperate for workers that it has offered people $50 just to show up for a job interview.
The Tampa location is owned by the Caspers Company, which has dozens of McDonald's franchise locations in Florida.
Despite the free money, the restaurant was still reportedly having trouble finding staff.

‘IT’S DR. ROSARIO’
The incident occurred toward the end of a four-hour Zoning Commission meeting on Monday in which Rosario raised concerns about a development project a few hundred feet from her house.
Collins responded, saying the discussion had veered off course and referring to her as “Mrs. Rosario.”
“It’s Dr. Rosario, thank you, sir,” she said in response.
“If Mrs. Rosario has something,” Collins continued.
“Dr. Rosario.”
“Well, you know, I’m sorry,” he responded. “Your name says on here ‘Carrie Rosario.’ Hey Carrie.”
“It’s Dr. Rosario,” she said again. “I wouldn’t call you Tony, so please, sir, call me as I would like to be called.”
“It doesn’t really matter,” Collins replied.
“It matters to me. And out of respect, I would like you to call me by the name that I’m asking you to call me by.”
“Your screen says Carrie Rosario.”
“I’m verbalizing my name is Dr. Carrie Rosario,” she said. “And it really speaks very negatively of you as a commissioner to be disrespectful.”
Collins goes on to say he’s not trying to be disrespectful and tells Rosario she’s “negotiating something that happened four years ago.”
A clip of the exchange was played during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Hightower, the City Council member, told other members Collins was using his “white privilege” by continuously refusing Rosario’s request, The Greensboro News & Record reported.

Female Republicans 'horrified' by male GOP lawmaker's description of Cheney: report
Three weeks after GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) said she would vote to impeach former President Trump, a barrage of her male colleagues lined up to criticize her during a conference meeting, The New York Times Magazine reported on Thursday.
Some of the remarks were decidedly sexist, and were shared among GOP women in political circles in Washington, D.C., the Times reported.
A remark from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) in particular created waves.
Kelly reportedly equated Cheney voting to impeach Trump to a football game, telling the conference, “You look up into the stands and see your girlfriend on the opposition’s side — that’s one hell of a tough thing to swallow,” the Times reported.
“She’s not your girlfriend!” a female colleague reportedly yelled out in response, the story stated.
The Times reported that Kelly’s comment was immediately passed around circles of Republican women in professional Washington. Former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.) told the Times she was “horrified” by the comment.
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), addressing Cheney as “Liz,” reportedly said that her “defiant attitude” bothered him, adding that she was not being a “team player.”

Cleared Man Battles Bill for 14-Month Jail Stay, Kentucky Supreme Court to decide on $4K tab
Cleared Man Battles Bill for 14-Month Jail Stay
Kentucky Supreme Court to decide on $4K tab
– A Kentucky factory worker had spent 14 months in jail when he was able to make bail, a few months before the case against him was dropped. As often happens when someone checks out of accommodations, he was presented a bill by Clark County Detention Center: $4,008. That started a legal battle that has reached the Kentucky Supreme Court, the Messenger-Inquirer reports. "The government can’t punish people unless and until they are found guilty of the crimes they are alleged to have committed," lawyers for David Allen Jones wrote in their briefs for the court. "Yet Kentucky counties have for years routinely kept the money they confiscate from persons on admission to their jails."
The jail also put $256 that was confiscated when Jones was arrested toward the bill. The jail said it's all permitted by state law, per WKYT, to offset the cost of housing and feeding inmates. The bill includes a $35 booking fee, $10 for each day of his confinement, $5 for hygiene supplies when he arrived, and $2.69 for replacing the hygiene supplies. So far, not many rulings have gone Jones' way. "The Constitution does not guarantee that only the guilty will be arrested," a US District judge wrote in a ruling on another lawsuit he filed two years ago. There's nothing in the constitution or statues that says a person determined to be innocent is entitled to a refund, the country's lawyers have argued.

In October 2013, acting on a tip from Lexington police that allegedly linked Jones’ Internet Protocol address to a child sex video downloaded from the web, the Clark County Sheriff’s Department raided his home in a Winchester apartment complex and arrested him. His bond was set at $15,000, more than he could afford to pay.
But after repeated searches over coming months, police found no evidence of child porn — not in Jones’ apartment or on any of the digital devices they seized, including a cell phone, computer tablet, Xbox, server, modem, printer and DVDs.
Jones waived his right to counsel and steadfastly asserted his innocence.
Finally, prosecutors acknowledged that someone else around the large apartment complex could have accessed Jones’ wireless network, which was unsecured. With no evidence that he had possessed child porn, they dropped the charges against him. He was released from jail in December 2014.
In a deposition in one of his lawsuits, Jones later said he had to leave Winchester, his hometown, because of the publicity over his arrest. He lost his apartment, his car, his job and most of his social circle, he said.
Trump's Business Ventures Come Crashing Down
Two Florida officers arrested, accused of issuing citations to drivers they never pulled over
Two Hialeah police officers have been arrested for allegedly writing fake traffic tickets.
Armando Perez and Ernesto Arias-Martinez have been charged with official misconduct and falsifying public records.
The victims of the alleged false tickets received multiple traffic citations without ever knowing they had committed a traffic violation.
On Feb. 13, 2020, one victim officially received 18 citations. The following day, he received an additional six.
He said he never actually got a physical citation and he started getting mail about legal representation for traffic court.

Two Florida police officers were arrested and are accused of issuing citations to drivers they never pulled over.
Hialeah, Fla., Officers Ernesto Arias-Martinez and Armando Perez were arrested and are being accused of issuing dozens of citations to nine people they never pulled over or made aware the tickets happened, the Miami-Herald reported.
The two are being charged with felony counts of official misconduct and falsifying public records.
The duo was caught when a defense law firm called Reicel Sosa Polo asking him if he wanted legal help for the 10 traffic tickets he had received, but Polo did not know what the firm was talking about.
Polo said he remembered passing two motorcycle officers, but he was never pulled over.
Roso filed a complaint with Hialeah police, as did another woman who got a letter from the state saying she had six unpaid tickets she needed to pay or her license would be suspended. Like Roso, this woman was never

Deputies Serve Warrant on Black Man, End Up Killing Him
North Carolina sheriff's deputies showed up Wednesday to execute a search warrant on a Black man, and that man is now dead after a deputy fatally shot him. Per ABC News, Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten says Andrew Brown Jr., believed to be in his early 40s, was killed around 8:30am when deputies arrived at his home in Elizabeth City to serve the warrant. A witness tells the AP that deputies fired multiple shots at Brown as he was driving away, and that Brown's car veered off the road and crashed into a tree. "When they opened the door ... he was slumped over," she says. Few other details about the shooting were mentioned, including how many shots were fired or what the search warrant was for. "It's been a tragic day," Wooten said, adding that the officer did have an active body camera and that, while he wasn't ready to release that footage, the department is vowing to be "transparent" about what happened.
Court records show Brown has a history of drug charges, as well as a conviction for drug possession, a misdemeanor. Protesters gathered later Wednesday, expressing frustration at how little info has been made available about the shooting and demanding bodycam footage be released. "There is a moment of hurt in Elizabeth City," Councilman Darius J. Horton said at an evening meeting, per USA Today. A friend tells the News & Observer that Brown, said to be a father of 10, wasn't violent, noting, "He didn't mess with guns." The friend adds, "He didn't deserve to die." The deputy who killed Brown, meanwhile, has been placed on leave pending a probe into the shooting by the State Bureau of Investigation, which will then share its findings with District Attorney Andrew Womble. Womble, for his part, says his office will seek "accurate answers and not fast answers." (Read more police sh

prominent author's past sexual assaults surface
Sexual Assault Allegations Against Biographer Halt Shipping of His Roth BookW.W. Norton, citing the accusations that the author, Blake Bailey, faces, said it would stop shipping and promoting his new best-selling book.
--------------
In June 2003, she was a graduate student at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and engaged to be married. She and Mr. Bailey both happened to be visiting New Orleans at the same time and met for drinks. Afterward, he invited her back to the place he was staying, where he kissed her, initiated oral sex, and when she squirmed away, he pinned her to the bed and forcibly had sex with her, she said. He finally stopped when she told him she wasn’t using birth control, she recalled.
After he drove her to her father’s house, where she was staying, Mr. Bailey said he had “wanted her” since the day they met, when she was 12, Ms. Peyton said.
She told two friends about the assault shortly after it happened but didn’t go to the police, in part because she was overwhelmed and wanted to move on with her life, she said. She later began seeing a therapist with experience in sexual assault counseling.
One of her friends, Catherine Roach, who is now a professor of art history at Virginia Commonwealth University, remembers the call from Ms. Peyton that summer.
“She called me and told me that he raped her, that she told him no and he didn’t stop,” Ms. Roach said. “I remember that she told me that he held her down.”
In an email reviewed by the Times, Mr. Bailey apologized to Ms. Peyton for his behavior days after the encounter, and asked her not to speak to others about it. She last heard from him in the summer of 2020, when Mr. Bailey wrote her again, in a message also reviewed by the Times, in which he alluded to “the awfulness on that night 17 years ago” and said he was suffering from mental illness at the time.
