I have no idea what in the world you are talking about. Most 20 year olds working at McDonald’s are stoned and move at half a mile an hour whether it’s a lunch rush or it’s 2am. I worked retail for years before I finally switched full time to programming. It’s certainly not full of amazing motivated athletes with excellent coordination. You’re lucky if most of them can show up to work on time more than half the time.
- booleandilemma 8mo agoDo you really wanna be competing with those people though? I'll be honest, I don't even want to be in the same room as them.
- sarchertech 8mo agoNo, but I’m over the absurd pessimism.

Every once in a while a 16-year old from Ukraine shows up and acts normal and all the other 16-year olds make up rumors about him being 30+ because "how he do that" - very amusing to watch.
- iberator 8mo agoI am not in USA. here we got swarms of Ukrainian immigrants who are super slim, fast and motivated. Very hard to compete. Obisity doesn't exist in them heh
