Also are you getting paid monthly? That sort of sucks should ask for biweekly if possible

I stock shelves, get 1 hour for break, and make a couple bucks more to work in a slow, air-conditioned environment. Why you slaving away, son?

Landscaping is cool but I'd rather run the company than be an underling. It's illegal to take such a short lunch break though. 30 minutes is the federal minimum.
Pay attention to what the boss man does. Copy his model except for the stupid shit he does then compete. Wageslavery is hell. Live on beans and rice if you must while working towards early retirement.
