As annoying as “inspirational capitalist success stories” can be, this one is legitimately great. He was a janitor at a plant in Rancho Cucamonga, took some undusted Cheetos home, put his own spices on it then called the CEO of the company and was able to convince him to set up a meeting where, with zero formal…

I’m going to focus on one part of the story: the current mindset that it’s not rude at all to just whip out a smartphone whenever you feel like it.
