But...Hey, I told you to not go to orientation late. But would you listen?<br /><br />The Food Coop is an easy target. Easy to make fun of - like shooting fish in a barrel. Unforunately, it only works because it has rules. How else could a multi-million $ organization that primarily relies on the labor of 14,000 people who only work 3 hrs a month actually survive for 35 years?<br /><br />Try to get on a shift that will not give you 2 make-ups even if you have an excuse for not working. If you can do that, you'll be happy, meet some nice people, eat well, and save some money. Oh, and it's perfectly OK to continue to buy your toilet paper and Pringles at key food.<br /><br />I think you'll like it in spite of it all.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11522913457942999355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-87978439209559787162011-02-10T10:40:50.460-05:002011-02-10T10:40:50.460-05:00You should make a documentary of your experience, ...You should make a documentary of your experience, because being as independent and outspoken as you are, it's probably only a matter of time before the collective starts to turn on you, or you max out on your tolerance for their unique brand of BS. :)Nosy Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132608391047546422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-82188049982131140002011-02-10T09:52:09.095-05:002011-02-10T09:52:09.095-05:00I would have totally beat a hippy if I'd been ...I would have totally beat a hippy if I'd been your wife!Dornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224994122737697420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415589203905330363.post-36582769145851681702011-02-10T00:04:04.982-05:002011-02-10T00:04:04.982-05:00Yeow-za.
