/biz/ - Business & Finance

I had just graduated highdschool and was a wagie at a grocery store. Out of all my applications they were the only ones to give me a job. Hours were cut everywhere and I killed my self just to get 40 hours a week in any department I could so my mom would lose the house after my parents split. Mom developed mental health issues and my father's solution was to hit her.

I think I could spare 20 bucks a week for groceries and got down to 112 pounds. I remember I got offered my first management one fall at that store but they couldn't let me do it till next spring because the budget was so tight their was a hiring freeze until the new fiscal year. I shoveled a 300 yard long drive way by hand because we couldn't afford to plow and we had to choose between heat or electricity sometimes. So we boiled hot water on the electric stove and chopped firewood
