Would You Just Take Any Job?

Short answer: FUCK NO!!

Long answer: My first real job after being discharged from The Army was working in a neighborhood supermarket as a Deli Clerk. Three Jewish men, Adam, Author and Rubi owned the supermarket called Rosemart. It was there where my passion for working with food first started. 

'When you learn to make a good cucumber salad, then and only then will you know you are good.'  Learn the old fashion way too, handling people's order with my bare hands, no gloves.

So, when this Pandemic was at the night of it's bullshit, people were saying just take any job in order to have money in your pocket. In order to pay bills and some other stupid shit. One woman told me that she wouldn't sleep with me because I didn't have a job, a hustle. Bitch I work, I don't hustle. I wasn't taking any job that didn't involved me working with or around food pwriod5. I don't give a Fuck what they said. It's either food related or I fucking starve. 

I'm not taking anything away from people who while the Pandemic was partying around the country,  they took whatever job there was that was out there in order to have .money I their homes. I say..that's them and those them aren't me.

I saw doing that, taking any job FOR money..I saw it as going against every thing I stood for as a Food Service Worker, because that is what I am...I work WITH food.

When all this cooking shows started I never watched them. Okay I watch one or two of them, but not religiously. I would watch when nothing else was on, or when I didn't have anything to watch that I downloaded. Those times were rare, but there were a few. 'Yes Chef, no ached, okay Chef.' A bunch of bullshit if you ask me, but I'm not taking away nothin for what THEY do. If I didn't know the Chefs name I called him what he is, Chef. That's what I good buy. Other than that the title Chef is just as..well I could've have said hey you.

I met a young woman who went to Chef school graduated and decided not to go into the field. Reason being she dislikes cooking, can't stand it in any kitchen. My question to her was..why accumulate the bill for the school. I saw the light for real leave her eyes.. I saw the cost of her schooling in those eyes. It really look like the col5 drained form her face and she is dark skinned. The job she has now pays $10 an hour. To top it all off, she is engaged. And..she just recently is pregnant. What the flying fuck. I told her she should if stayed in 'The Kitchen' and not to get married. She has the world to see. Being pregnant, her life as I see it was over.

Anyways... These days the Food Service Industry can't find workers to fill spots and the starting pay is crazy. I have two interviews tomorrow back to back. I recue5 8 emails and at the last count, my resume was viewed 37 times. Food Se5 Workers are really needed.

Can't wait to get in the kitchen here. I want to see people, engage with people..hear people again from behind the counter.
