I really think working in food service is bad for your brain

In nearly seven years at my job I finally blew up the other day. I'm not sure I want to be the calm guy anymore

It took you seven years to blow? That's very good actually.

@LordShadowfire It took me a couple of weeks lol

@JimboSaturn This is why I've never even bothered to apply for a job like that.

@JimboSaturn I think my morale gets lower every year. I don't know, but it has this year

Same been with the same company for 8 years. I hate it here.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@ScarletWitch I don't know about you. But I think I'm comfortable being uncomfortable here. The prospect of moving on is more scary than being stressed every day

@caPnAhab and to find a new job that doesnt pay more. Since i never graduated or go to collage im pretty much stuck being minimum wage forever.

The Public + Food = I QUIT

@caPnAhab I had no choice but to get out of food service, it made me absolutely miserable. People are so rude and needy and inconsiderate and in a hurry. People are just exhausting. I left and got a factory job and I'm very content now.

@Tumbleweed I'm not a people person at all. So thankfully my contact with customers is limited, being that I work the kitchen

Interesting. What do you do in a factory?

@caPnAhab I'm not a people person myself so I never worked up front but still had to listen to them 🧐 I'm actually a press mechanic now & I love it!!

Food service is really hard and a lot of people end up on hard drugs and an alcoholic

Be careful. Listen to your body and get out of that line of work if you can if it's going to cause you to break

@caPnAhab yes, work toward that!!

I'm sorry you're in a rut in an unhappy workplace right now, but you can get yourself out of it!

@caccoon Thanks for the encouragement. Thankfully, I like my managers and coworkers. They make actually working bearable

@caPnAhab that is very important 💙💙

If you decide not to be, make sure you record it. Because I'm fully convinced it'll be the funniest thing ever.

@LordShadowfire You'd have to see the rampage to believe I did it
It teaches us how to be better Citizens, by showing us the pure ugliness of humanity.
@caPnAhab So very true, retail as well.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@NativePortlander1970 I freely admit I'm nowhere near a good enough citizen to work retail.
@LordShadowfire Retail is very demanding
