I never heard of Chika before this piece. Now that I have, slide over, I want in on #TeamChika and all she reps.

BOSS. Fuck people who treat fat people cruelly. Say cruel shit. Spare me the health concerns.

My friends once tried to piss me off and called me a Republican. I’m still pretty salty about it. 

And while they’re at it, sell their jets and fancy shit then donate the proceeds to reputable charities...hahahaha, I cracked myself up.

The worst.

Wow. Adell, you managed to make me do something I never thought I would - take the side of Prosperity Gospel Preachers (except Osteen - I did not see his name in the “leaving” column). I am only surprised I have not heard the “I didn’t make it, I just shared it” excuse more often. That is some high-level bullshit…

Haha you can’t keep control of your property!

I was a tour guide at an old mining camp outside Fairbanks, Alaska for a couple of summers. We worked about three hours a day and shot the shit with retirees on their dream vacations for the rest of our shift. The tips were great, we were outside most of the day, the food was good (and free), and the dining and…

I was a lift operator at a ski resort in Tahoe for minimum wage right after college. There’s some hard work shoveling during blizzards but pretty easy overall and well worth it for the hour or two (depending on the supervisor) skiing while working, free seasons pass for days off, and living in a ski town partying with …

just FYI, lifeguarding SUCKS now. They have to do all these mandated weird-ass constant head movements and station shifting and saving kids’ lives and it is NOT AS COOL nowadays.

I was a lifeguard at the country club where my parents were members. This was in New Hampshire, so it wasn’t actually that fancy, and that might have been the best teen job. I got to hang out with my swim team friends and smoke skunk weed in the woods, sit in the sun all day and listen to music (provided it’s not…

We’re talking current jobs, gramps.

I worked in the produce section of a grocery store for a couple of summers. Easy access to a giant refrigerator in the heat of the summer, stealing and eating all the best fruits when nobody’s watching, mindless restocking of things when they run low... I’d do it again in a heartbeat if some weirdo offered to pay me wh…

I worked at a Subway and we used to have a super trade thing going on between the movie theatre, Del Taco, a pizza place, and the gas station. Such cooperation, oh the 80s...

I actually like the Panera mac-and-cheese. Which is why I buy tubs at the grocery store and heat it myself. It’s like eating in Panera! But more convenient! And I get to add my own spices!

Yeah, but at Chick-fil-A the hate is prepared fresh daily so you can really taste the difference.

I think we’re missing the bigger issue here. These off site cooking methods are due to underpaid fast food staff who don’t have the culinary skills to safely prepare and handle food without poisoning everyone. Which is frightening that the distribution center is that last real place where any skilled person can…

I used to work at Friday’s, and pretty much all the sauces and some of the soups came from a bag. The mixed drinks came from a mix (before the booze). Nobody was in the kitchen caramelizing onions and reducing Jack Daniels for your steak, even if it was $18 or whatever.

Can confirm that they would be this petty and fire someone over this. I was a trainer at Panera for like 3 years and they want to portray this image of everything being made from scratch. When the reality is most of the shit there outside of all the baked goods are pre-made. In fact, the company that makes the mac…

This is just another example of how distanced Americans are from the food they eat. They really have no idea how an apple gets onto their counter, much less the process to get anything that requires the most minimal preparation.
