Charged Fees to Access wages

Good for her.
Customers have no clue as to how much credit and debit cards cost merchants. It's not unusual for it to cost 5%, and American Express charges a lot more. That's why a lot of small merchants will not accept AE credit cards.
It's no big deal to WalMart or Kroger, but to a small merchant, like us, who has maybe 1 or 2 or 3 transactions a month, it's outrageous.

I read about this a little while back, and this is nothing new. I'm not saying it's right, but this kind of system has been used before..

Nearly 4 million U.S. households, or 3.2 percent, have someone receiving wages on a payroll card, according to a 2011 survey by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company.

I guess that she is not being given a printed statement of her monthly earnings? If so, then how is she going to file her taxes? Will McDonald's still give her a printed W-2?
