Transcript

So I got laid off two months ago at this point and I'm obviously applying for jobs and it's not going super great, right? So today, I was like, you know what? Let's go see if I can find a bartending job or like server job or something in the neighborhood. So, I had a very nice chat with a GM near my apartment. So I'm like, okay, maybe this is my journey into food service and the interim. And I'm kind of excited because it's just really different. And I've never done that before. I worked retail, but never worked food service and I know it's gonna be hard, but it's gonna be something different. And I'm into it.
