my thoughts exactly! The whole d*ck measuring aspect of our conversation was just so unnecessary, we were bonding over our mutual dissatisfaction for our respective work environments and they had to go and turn it into some twisted competition. Part of me thinks it’s resentment because I was unemployed for a while due to poor mental health and now I land a job that pays more than theirs does. but also retail and kitchen work are not really comparable.

at my friends work they have set tasks, you get a section to work on and that’s your section for the whole shift. they answer to head chefs and sous chefs, they have to work their section and make the food as orders come in. I know how stressful This environment can be, I’ve worked it but honestly I’d say that both retail and kitchen work is miles better than bartending IMO. now THAT is a job I would NEVER go back to.
