      This is wild to me; I kinda want to ask if you volunteered or were obligated under some program. But it is plausible, apparently there are a handful of states where this happened relatively recently.

      It remains rare. But my superlatives went too far. Editing it down.

        I was living in a small town in Oklahoma, my car broke down, and it was only McDonald’s or Walmart I could reasonably walk to and McD’s called me back first. Not a work program or anything, that’s legit what they paid all the regular crew members.
