Every time a cocktail waitress takes the Manhattan I just made and condescendingly pours it over ice, a part of me dies inside

So when I got a job in (read: near) the town I just moved to, that’s when I gave myself permission to quit my old shitty job and actually move. Which is good! And I’ve got another job lined up, which I’m very grateful for. So I’m just at this (first) job till I get started at the second one. I’m very lucky!

BUT

This “bridge” job is turning out to be utter bullshit. There are just so many things that suck, I’m texting my gf and she’s like “just walk out!” and I’m very tempted to take her advice

Lobbying
To keep wages low
Exacting dues from waiters
Thoughts of struggle, toil and blows
Unfair
