Any guesses as to whether the causality is more "night stocking is tough -- better pop some meth to up my productivity" or "night stocking seems like a good way

Any guesses as to whether the causality is more "night stocking is tough -- better pop some meth to up my productivity" or "night stocking seems like a good way to earn cash while I'm high on meth"?
- prpl 6y agoIt was usually the former. It was a very hard job, nearly aerobic, job at least 3 nights a week (1-2 of the nights was working backstock which might not need as much hustle). On top of that, it’s between 11 and 7, some people have more than one job and/or have to switch between day shifts and night shifts.
- mycologos 6y agoInteresting. I didn't know meth was cheap enough for this to be economically viable. It reminds me of hearing about cooks who took up smoking because smoke breaks were the only way to get breaks at all during service. From a short-term standpoint, it's got a logic to it.
