The service industry is like living in a parallel world, you’re busy when everyone else is free on the weekends or night time, you’re working the hardest when everyone else is resting or playing on the holidays
You see your family after everyone else is back at work, there is is no Christmas for service workers, there are no weekends, it’s time formed in the shadow of “real” life, life lived in the invert
“I’m stuck in a time loop” “I entered a parallel dimension” “body snatchers have changed everyone else’s behavior toward me” yes, understandable, we’ve all worked in retail
