Who says she isn't the reason?
True story: The McDonalds in my old hometown in Ohio (5,000 people total, mind you) wouldn't hire me for some completely unknown reason when I was in high school. They preferred, instead, to hire thieves and/or drug addicts. I guess my lack of a criminal record was somehow a mark against me.
So then I went on to get my first job at Cedar Point (an amusement park in northern Ohio) in summer '98. At a crappy restaurant over by the Mean Streak, which I never actually rode because roller coasters in general don't mesh well with my General Anxiety Disorder.
My first job was at a cinema in a ghetto lol. I would go home at night smelling like pot because everybody came in smoking it.
Everything was super old and falling apart, but it used to be the most popular cinema in the city. Now of course they tore it down and built a new fitness complex there and the two cinemas are located in the better part of town as a 14 plex and a 16plex and super nice.
