my ideal job is like, Chill Retail, which is what the ups store was like for me back when i lived in PA. just sthg flexible and laid back with good coworkers and decent pay and then i can go home and work on comics.
@sgoetter Once I applied to a Starbucks thinking it was going to be like this, and it wound up being the sixth busiest Starbucks in the world.
@idesofmerch this happened to my roommate too! turns out the starbucks 2 min from our apt is the busiest sbux in texas (and it's run very poorly)
@sgoetter I'd be impressed if a very busy one ISN'T run poorly. I flipped out at my boss for handling food with his bare hands and he was like "What, and you want to leave our customers waiting?"
"Yes? That's gross? And a possible very serious health code violation?"
@idesofmerch jfc. my roommate's boss is mostly grossly incompetent so they're out of like, literally everything all the time (like...cups. and tea. and milk) and then gives himself 3 day weekends whenever he wants. It's a Mess.
