Altogether, the young woman calculated earnings of $896, though she ended up rounding it up to $900 since she hadn’t included a few coins. “We count $896, but they always give me coins and I put them in jars, suppose it is $900, I’m going to close it at $900,“ she said happily.

Others, on the other hand, were skeptical and asked: “How many hours a day?” or «Is there no day off?» While some internet users warned her not to share personal information on social media. «And now report them to taxes, you’re screwed.» «IRS is looking at you.» «Don’t do it, don’t show your earnings on social networks, for security, for IRS… don’t do it,» they said.
