I make and sell my very own Cushman's Coffee Soda!
So bold, so creamy. Also available in black!
It's far superior to the sewage my competitor Jimmy Harvell tries to sell to the unsuspecting public. I've heard Harvell's coffee soda has gotten people sick!

Boomercore food so steak, salmon, sometimes burgers, sometimes rump roast. Don't take my pay as any indication of respect though since it's essentially applebees-tier level of work. I've just been on the line for three years and kept pressing for raises at the right time.

I can drink as much as I want and they actually refuse to charge me.

If I want to bring any bottles or 6/12 packs home they're half off.
5 bucks a 6 pack
10 bucks a 12
5 gallon kegs are 30
15 gallon kegs 80

Jesus. Here it's only $1125 including all utilities. They also just started giving free internet and cable to tenants.
But on the other hand you may be getting more for your money wherever you're at. Minimum wage here is $7.85 so making twice that is alright.

It really is, even if we make an effort to be a few steps above hospital tier food. I'd love to be a line cook at an actual restaurant, but are set hours, benefits, etc., easy to come by in that profession? I know a few people who've worked in actual restaurants and I hear it can get pretty grueling at times.

Being a prepcook is the only job I've ever been fired from. I was slow, inaccurate, and cook times were off, even when they were as idiot proof as possible.
