Joe TSA makes $16 an hour. Joe was expecting a $1,200 check today. He was going to use that check to pay his car payment, buy gas, pay the heating bill, make the minimum on the credit card, and go grocery shopping.
Joe got a $0 check. Most of those bills cannot be deferred.
Joe was smart. He took off TSA work Monday and Wednesday to do 12 hour Uber shifts.
Uber sent Joe a check for $270 and now he can pay off some of those bills.
Be like Joe. Be smart.

EDIT: I just saw that [MENTION=7202]GUWonder[/MENTION] mentioned the same thing a few posts above. However, if missing only one paycheck makes a person susceptible to bribery, then they were already susceptible to bribery.
