A McDonald’s franchise owner in Tampa, Florida, said he is paying people $50 just to show up for a job interview and is still struggling to find applicants.

Blake Casper, the franchisee who owns the McDonald’s location, told Business Insider that a general manager and supervisor created a plan for paying would-be employees to show up for the interview after telling them to “do whatever you need to do” to hire more workers.
