    When I first moved to LA, I worked a string of ain't ? jobs, lmao i got stories for days.

    When you apply, and get hired on the spot, mfs don't even look at your resume

    One warehouse literally had me do a 5 question test to make sure I knew how to read and write. i watched a three minute safety video and started working later that day.

    It's atleast 5 mexicans who speak no English, 3 teenagers who look like they do xanax, and a ? fresh out of jail with red chucks, and a face tattoo

    Everybody files exempt on their taxes

    It's a ? selling weed on the job, and a female giving head in the bathroom. managers don't care long as they can get the plug

    When it's your first day and co-workers openly tell you about how thrash the job is, when they're gonna quit and which places pay better

    When it's your first week and you're damn near the best employee

    Bonus points if your co-workers tell you to relax, it's not that serious when they see you doing your job quickly and effectively

    When your managers misspell 5 letters words, and ? up simple addition and subtraction

    When you tell your co-workers you went to school and they're surprised cause you're the only one

    When you quit short notice to finish school, or for better opportunities and your managers are lowkey proud of you

    I glanced at your avi and thought you were Kat then I seen the N word and I was like what the ? lol.

    My homie is a prep chef at a high end place & he says its common af to walk in the bathroom and hear employees/customers doing lines lol. Apparently coke is pretty common in the restaurant industry cuz alot of them dont drug test & because they work long hours

    When your manager or supervisor is way younger than you

    True, when I worked at Cosi (restaurant similar to Panera Bread) I had a manager that was a year younger than me. When I found that out I was like "damn I really need to finish school and get a job that is higher on the totem pole."

    Damn bish!! How many jobs did you actually had?

    Every job I've had since 1998 gave us a full hour for lunch. When I was in defense, them 1hr lunches could regularly turn into 2 hrs if a group of us went somewhere like Yardhouse. Leave at 12, beer gets to flowing, stories told, food ate then you look up and it's a quarter to 2. Walk back in the office like it ain't ? .

    When your job cant afford to cater for company parties, yall instead do potlucks. smh

    Ay, don't hate on the potluck, especially if you work with a lot of older women.

    But you're right, it shouldn't all be potlucks, lol.
