The service employees at McD's make minimum wage at best, which in
even the most "progressive" states is less than $7 per hour. From that is deducted social security and other taxes - meaning their take home pay is less than whatever they earn at that minimal hourly wage. So do the math: if you are making $3000 per month (or, as you say it is even somewhat less) that is much more than the counter staff at McD's makes - and not remotely comparable to it.
So it is highly improbable that as you believe, in America the "service crew at McD's make three times as much as I do at my white collar job".
America may seem like paradise in comparison to your country, but it is often said that "the grass appears to be greener on the other side".
