I began working at the deli counter of a popular, over-priced grocery store 2 months ago. Unemployed for the last year, this has been quite a shock to my
system. I'm not accustomed to doing things I don't want to do. I'm not whining
about my current situation, but taking on a menial job after doing what you damn
well please is quite draining.
For the past few weeks, I've spent my breaks writing about the job, the people I
work with, and my observations about the world of retail. Originally, I was going to
use the material to write a short story called "Zen and The Art of Chicken Salad."
I soon remembered that a work of fiction takes more effort than I'm willing to put
into it.
So, from time to time, I will post stuff here. Names have been changed to protect
the innocent or to more accurately describe the people involved. These are not
necessarily in any sort of sequential order.
I will update whenever I feel like it.
