Working for Hell (Safeway untold)

By Cherry Bear


The days are hard
The hours long
Brakes are short and long between
The pay sucks
Dealing with idiots
Customers and Co-workers alike
Politics and regulations always on the brain
Trying not to crush to many toes as slipping higher
One wrong step and your back where you started
Bagging someones food for min wage
cashiers for the same,
Learning to do odd jobs
always being passed up for that promotion or raise
Working at Safeway was the biggest pain.
