no, i've never personally witnessed this happening, but my friends tell me about it happening at their stores. albeit was only two times i've heard about it happening, but i'd consider my friends reliable.
and i do have a good work ethic. when i do work with my grandpa or whomever else, i don't stop until it's done and do it right.

Odd jobs for family is a different sort of work ethic. It doesn't take the same kind of gumption required to get yourself out of bed every day for paltry minimum wage for a job you're most definitely going to hate.
The interviewer is looking for people who are going to work the stuffty jobs without freaking out, getting weird about it or just straight up not showing to work. That's the purpose of the interview. I've held jobs and have gone to many a interviews, so I know what I'm talking about.

i'm just saying money is enough to get me out of bed everyday.

It doesn't seem to be enough to get you to get out of your low state however, so obviously there's issues you need to sort out before you can reliably hold a job, because otherwise what's keeping you from securing a job will also probably keep you from holding one.
The solution is simple. Follow the advice given, pad up your interviews to look good and try to do the job you're given without bugging out. If you're working for anything under $15/hr, it's not going to change your life, so don't set yourself up expecting the money train.
