Mood. I reverse psychologized myself into taking a shift as a dishwasher on the same principle. It was at a bar and I made bank from the shift. Definitely interested on climbing the ladder in the future

I'm not sure I follow. You took a dishwasher shift as an act of charity?

Hey don't harsh my mood. I was trying to resemble some good volunteer work I did in the past to push me out of my comfort zone and show up to my first job in months, even if it was just a dishwasher job. I have severe social anxiety and general anxiety so I was psyching myself up to it. I was working at a very popular bakery for a long time a year ago and quit because my manager and upper management were assholes. I kinda got jaded against people facing jobs and shitty management. I requested a trial shift at a gay bar last week and they really wanted it to work out for me, and the managers were also nice. I also got paid the same money working Back of House as I did in front of house at that awful bakery, consisting of base pay ($13) and a few extra dollars from tips. I'm thinking I'll move from BOH to FOH in the future when openings pop up. Sorry to rant

I moved to a city and haven't found food kitchens in the area to volunteer at, which is something I like to do

Gotcha. I'm happy for you finding a place to be comfortable!
