    I remember I got into an argument on Reddit once, maybe on the old sub, when I suggested that a multitude of cornerstores is a far better alternative to big box stores. I think they were mad because people would still have to have service jobs, but assuming you get honest pay then that sort of work really isn't that bad.

    I guess the alternative to having food vendors would be a quartermaster who gives you rations, or maybe trading for food from farmers if we go back to a village structure.

      working food service was only tolerable when I did it because I was literally stealing shitloads of food and money (pocketing leftovers and intentionally-prepared extras and cooking the books), but if I had been working with customers I didn't despise, for a comfortable wage, I'd have probably preferred it to the bullshit desk job I'm doing now

      I had to fetch wine bottles for the fucking Waltons, shit was miserable

        I've never worked in restaurants, though basically everyone I know has at some point in their lives (and some still are). I have been a shelf-stocker, though.

        Honestly, if I'd been paid a wage I could live comfortably off of, and then used my free time to pursue hobbies/life, I coulda done that forever. Did I love the job? Of course not. But it was easy, simple work.

        Obligatory fuck the Waltons. I was having a fantasy the other day of seeing a Storming the Winter Palace style painting but instead of the Tsar's Winter Palace it's the Walton family estate.
