Yeah I was 15 when I worked my first retail job.

That's when I learned how the world works. Everyone should have to do it.

retail, work some kind of food service, construction, and factory work

i feel like everyone should rotate through these for the first few years in the workforce.

Fake image. The spike seems bigger than the gap between the 2 rollers. It's getting pretty hard to identify slop these days.

You'll appreciate it when you're 40 and your back is a wreck.
