I think I remember you posted this story before and I never considered until then that you had to get in those things to clean them. I decided just from reading your post that sounded like one of the worst jobs I've ever heard of.

I was a manager at Chick Fil A in college. From the incompetent workers/other managers to dealing with the public in a food setting. Awful.


I read a twitter thread from a guy who was trying to go the owner/GM route at Chick Fil A and the work he described sounded like it sucked big time. He had no life.

I was a waitress all thru high school and some college. Which was fine except one place.
I made the unfortunate decision to work at Ryan’s Steakhouse.
Low tips and a lot of gluttony.
Only Pro- it was in a college town so a lot of the wait staff was my age. I met some of my life long friends there.

lol, getting Deloitte to do your quarterly provision and then looking at it for 20 minutes isn’t a fast paced environment

There are a few.

High school working some concession stands in the zoo. Mostly okay except for the cotton candy one. Tiny stand which would get incredibly hot when you combined summer heat, no AC, and the heat of the cotton candy machine.

The sugar had to be poured into the middle thing, then you lean into the cavity and use a paper cylinder to collect the spinning sugar. You get burned every time you touch the machine. You get strands of spun sugar in your hair and eyebrows. If you aren't drinking enough to make up for the sweat you will likely pass out. Between the BO and the spun sugar you have a confusing combination of stink and sweet bubble gum etc all over you.

If you don't have a change of clothes and do have cloth seats it will look like someone murdered a sweaty clown in your car

Damn baw. Just ease up. Busy season ends really really soon. Hang in there buddy. No need to lash out at others due to work stress and 80 hour weeks.

Yep.

In Baton Rouge in the heat.

Oh, and I almost had my balls melted off too.

A guy was working on a spinner and I was helping. He turned the wrong valve and some of that hot caustic sprayed my lower crotch. It ate through my jeans before I could stick a fire hose in my pocket and flush the area. I have a scar from where it burned my inner thigh.

frick that place.

Installing shelving in a Lowes. No AC in the dead of summer working 12 hours shifts when I was 19 years old. One good thing that came from it was I decided not to drop out of college.

So my first year at Auburn I decided that keg stands were way more fun than class and my grades very much reflected such. The following summer my dad's company was working a paper mill rebuild in Augusta and he made me come and work for pissing away a year. 6-12s with most of that time on a jack hammer or using a waffle bit to roughen up existing concrete. I would wake up in the mornings and have to pry my hands open. Now, I made great money, but 72 hours a week was a mofo. Needless to say, my grades were significantly better in year 2.
