selling carpet at roses
i have a weird thing for old 80s aesthetics and places like kmart and roses fascinate me
looking at that candy rack like
back when chocolate was still chocolate
those big ass CRT tvs in the wooden console frame. ill bet that tv still works, wherever it is today
you realize how cheap and plastic the world is now and its depressing
the world has been going backwards since 2012
my first job was jack in the box. they made me make salads and portion fries and make tacos. i hated making tacos there. they came frozen in a giant brick, something like 50 tacos frozen together, roughly the size of a partition block (those skinny cinder blocks). you had to break them apart so you could stick them in the taco rack. its just a corn tortilla that a machine shyt some ground beef into at the factory. theyre then frozen and shipped to the store
so you plunge these frozen beef tacos into 400F oil and when the timer goes off, you and your rubber-gloved hands have to peel the taco apart
and the steam that shoots out melts the gloves onto your hands
while you rapidly stuff shredded lettuce, 1/2 slice of a Kraft single, a tomato slice, and a squirt of hot sauce into the taco before the skin melts off your fingers.
oh how i hated the mexican construction crews. 120 tacos @ 12:15pm. while im trying to make tacos for EVERYONE ELSE
the 'monster taco'
was even worse cos you could only fry like 5 at a time and they took up all the space in one of the fryers. you would be making SO MANY at once
i made a few thousand of those things before i quit
