With a break for the Air Force, construction, landscaping, and warehouse work. The business is dumbed down for todays employees. The health department food handlers classes used to be hard, now it is useless. And like almost everything else today, people don't have common sense or know how to actually think for themselves and come up with an idea. If you show any promise most places with screw you over while the useless workers get everything they want. Broken equipment that could be fixed easily for 5 bucks worth of stuff from Lowes, instead they call in a maintenance company that charges 300 bucks. One place I worked at ordered a part for a somewhat broken deli slicer, 600 dollars, could have bought it off of ebay for 150. Same shipping time. Most of the money people pay for food really goes to paying management and corporate employee wages while everyone else gets meager pay.  Plus the business is great for preying on people who can't due math. I sat myself down years ago and decided I wasn't going to play to 40+ hours a week game. I have it somewhat good with my lower expectations in life, don't really need that many hours. It is harder work than most people would expect. But I figured I was working myself to an early grave, so I am trying my best to avoid working that much. I may not have everything I want, but I am enjoying my life. Except for the rainy days like today.</p></blockquote><p></p>
